Deinocheirusmaster! Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I just recently bought this Spinosaurus tooth at rock shop. When I looked closer it had a good covering of dust on it from sitting on the shelf for a long time. Its covered in these weird fibers you typically see that are used to make stuffed animals. I think they may have packaged it weird or something. Does anyone know how to get rid of these so my Spinosaurus tooth will look good again?

Troodon Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Looks like is covered in matrix. You can try to use an xacto knife and try to scrape it off. The tooth looks brittle with fractures so be very careful. The fuzz might just be packing material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, it was probably packed in that poly fill padding that it seems every Riker box it stuffed with these days. Any rough surface or sharpness on the fossil acts like Velcro and pulls on that stuff, making it stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstraktum Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 You might want to check out this topic: Throw it in Acetone and you will see how this tooth falls apart. After that you can put it back together with super glue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
