Hey everyone. I've been blown away by some of the shark tooth restoration work out there so I wanted to learn this skill for myself. I practiced on a real beat up tooth I found. It was probably too challenging of a tooth to restore on my first attempt but I figured it would be a good opportunity to practice restoring the root as well as enamel. The sculpting material hasn't completely cured yet but when it does I will be smoothing it out and then painting it. The enamel areas definitely need smoothing. It's far from perfect but I just figured I'd share this first attempt. Below are is a photo of the tooth how it looked before, some progress pics, and how it currently looks. I'm going to keep practicing. If anyone has any tips or tricks that would be awesome!

Owl_Roker posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi All, Quick question for you. What UV wavelength should I be using to detect restorations? Will repairs show up under 395nm? Thanks.- 9 replies

Is this two separate spinosaurus tooth fragments stuck together>
Conzo posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi guys! I'm completely new to fossils and wanted to buy my sister a tooth. I found a cheap spino tooth listed as having a couple repairs, no restorations and decided to buy her one for her birthday. It just came in and looks pretty good to me, but thought I should ask about it here just to get a bit more information about it. Does it look like a single tooth or different teeth glued together? It looks like it was glued together but I cant tell much more than that. I would greatly appreciate any help!- 12 replies
