Legit Carcharodontosaurus Tooth?
Rikache posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there everyone! I've recently been acquiring different fossils to add to my collection and I came across a listing for a carcharodontosaurus tooth that really interested me. Below are a few photos of the listing advertising the carcharodontasaurus tooth. The sellers themselves are very reputable and I am in no way questioning their validity as I'm sure the tooth is a real fossil. Instead, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me positively identify the fossil as a carcharodontosaurus tooth as I know many different teeth and fossils come from the Kem Kem Beds in Morocco. The tooth is in pretty rough condition and has been glued together as seen through the middle of the tooth laterally, though it looks to still have most of its enamel and serrations in tact. Despite these quirks, I'm still very interested in adding this tooth to my collection and I would love to know if the tooth is in fact from a carcharodontosaurus or if it is possibly from another animal of that time period. Thank you all!.thumb.JPG.3bd4a4f171664a8ab803bbb3997dad18.JPG)

Stegodon tooth? Indonesia purchase
GarethGP posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Bought a "partial Stegodon tooth" a while back. Originally from Indonesia. Does it look legitimate, and does it look like Stegodon at all?.thumb.jpg.3ade807d0d0a576526ab628886de911a.jpg)

Found this crazy walliserops online, but with 4 rostrum prongs instead of 3! Is this 4th prong a complete fabrication, (such as the case for many a Hoplolichoides) or is it just a deformed bug?

Are these real Megaladon teeth?
Erin36 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I just purchased these sold as Megaladon teeth. I see some repairs I think. The big one I think is in almost perfect condition. The others seem small so not sure if they are Megaladon or another shark fossil? Any help is appreciated.

Is this Spinosaurus tooth real?

I rarely buy fossils and don’t know much about them but I was in a small fossil museum in a village in England called “Robin Hood’s Bay” and I saw this Spinosaurus Tooth for sale and I’m wondering if it is real. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another Mosasaur jaw real or fake!? Or somewhere in-between?
PhishermanPhil posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there! I'm new to the forum. I recently picked up a mosasaur jaw, my first fossil. Question is it real or fake, I started doing the research after making the purchase.. Comparing it to other examples, it's somewhere in the middle. It doesn't look totally manufactured, but it also kind of looks to good to be true. Opinions?

Hollardops trilobite confirmation
NoahW24 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi All, Still pretty new to the fossil ID world. I found this Hollardops online- unfortunate shortage of in-person rock shops where I am. What makes me think it's real is the repaired cracking in the matrix/cheek, the well-detailed eye facets, and general signs of mid-level prep. What has me slightly uncertain are the little knobbies on the cephalon- on real trilobites those are definitely a feature, but from these photos my eye may not be trained enough to tell natural knobs from bubbles. Any input greatly appreciated! Best, Noah

Megalodon Tooth - Does this seem authentic
A.C. posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey all, I stumbled upon this at an attractive price (but not so attractive that it screams reproduction) My concerns are mostly how the enamel meets the root of the tooth. I know the lighting is poor but unfortunately these are the only two photos. Appreciate any input!

Fish from unknown location.
gigantoraptor posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello all This fossil fish is from an old collection. I think it might be Paraelops sp. from the Santana formation in Brazil, but I'm not certain. I'm also not entirely sure if it's completely original. Anyone who has an idea what species this is, what location it comes from and most importantly, is it real? Thanks in advance
