Misha Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I can't see anything that could be a fossil in the image, but you would need to give us some better photos to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorp Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The object is still not in focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Can you try to hold your phone a bit further from the rock? It's not in focus and usually that's because it's too close to the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 That's better! Not really sure what it could be though. I have a Spinosaurus tooth, and a part of the root fell off. It looks very similar to this but it's probably something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Also if you can get in the habit of taking your pictures against a plain background, it will make it easier for your viewers and your camera to focus on the item instead of the busy background.

dinosaur man Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I compared this to my Morocco specimen and it looks very similar I found out that there’s two species of spinosaurus one from Morocco and one from Egypt it might look a little different from Morocco teeth because it’s probably because there from different areas and different species so misha I think it is a spinosaurus thanks.

fifbrindacier Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Wait more knowleageable's point of view before labelling it spinosaurus, please. And as say @caldigger, you should take photos with a plain background. Also, you could take photos of the edges. @Darktooth @Al Dente ?

Darktooth Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Honestly I cant tell if it is a fossil or not. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoFossilsUK Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The fact it's from North Africa, the colour of the enamel with black spots and what appears to be a white core all suggest a piece of Spinosaurus tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco.

dinosaur man Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Dinofossilsuk I think it might be from Egypt because my spinosaurus tooth from KemKem beds is orange and red colours and this is black and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your red Spino tooth likely came from the Ifezouane formation, but the Aoufous formation produces lighter coloured teeth. I've handled thousands of them and the enamel and core of this tooth closely resembles teeth from that formation. If it is a Spino tooth (which it looks to be), it's almost certainly from Kem Kem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaur man Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Ok thanks I will post more photos later today thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoFossilsUK Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 No problem, a photo of the core of the tooth would help confirm if it's a partial spino tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
