I found this in N.E. Oklahoma. The general area has a history of producing Mastodon, giant ground sloth, etc… But this doesn’t look like anything I have come across previously. -Appears to have some bits of enamel. - The piece that’s attached to the “tooth” has small holes on the top and bottom which looks a lot like “spongy bone”. Wondering if this could be a fragment of jaw bone. -The “tooth” is curved. Has a very defined front edge and the back edge is also well defined but looks to have worn down serrations. 🤷🏻. And there is also a less defined line in one side. I am sorry if I didn’t use the correct language to describe what I am looking at. Can anyone help me ID?

What can you tell me about this sabertooth fossil?
vaetki posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I'm in the process of buying this saber tooth tiger skull (AMPHIMACHAIRODUS) . No restoration has been done and it was found in Gansu, China (will edit with the exact location when I'm able to, website is down). I would greatly appreciate any insight about this fossil, any potential red flags, etc. This will be my first fossil purchase so I want to make sure I'm smart about it. Thanks so much for reading!- 1 reply

I'm interested in this skull, the price seems interesting to me, but I wanted to ask about it's authenticity over here. Seller states it's originating from China, has around 3% restoration and is genus Amphimachairodus. No further info on when this was found or imported into the EU. Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hello! Would like some opinions on whether this is a Smilodon m1 molar? The fossil was found in Florida and I have attached some pictures below I’ve also attached pictures of potential tooth locations on Smilodon skulls, highlighted in red circles From what I’ve heard canid teeth have a more broad surface whereas felid is much more angled and sharp since cats use them for cutting while dogs use their teeth mainly for crushing (dire wolf)

Machairodus Horribilis sabertooth cat skull
Dinobot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi this is posted online. I was hoping to get input on its authenticity. How can you tell new material and composite for older material? Stated it is from Hippareon layer Gansu province Would this be considered a good better or best specimen? Are the sabers all original? Thanks for the help! On a sperate note there are a few on a local auction house that come from China, Taiwan and Korea. Are these commonly fakes?- 9 replies

Hi guys! Recently I got in a trade this nimravid mandible from the white river formation in Shannon County. Now I want to ask your help to determine the genus, if possible. Being incomplete and missing all the teeth it's quite difficult but it has a quite elongate mandible flange and by the number of the alveoli it had three teeth. I think it can be Hoplophoneus, what do you think about it?

Hi everyone, these days I was thinking about sabertoothed animals (I know I'm a bit crazy). I was thinking about the difference in the canine of different animals, I know the difference in the sabertooth of machairodontinae, smilodontinae and metailurinae. I also know that thylacosmilus has triangular shaped canines. But what about barbourofelids and nimravids, are there difference that permits to distinguish their canines with felids sabertooth? Thank you to anyone who can enlight me

This looks to have some small spots of fill, but do any of you see something more? Also hard to tell if the horn was put into the left eye socket to make it look like a fascinating death fossil versus really found like that. thanks

Sabertooth smilodon skull fossil
Dinobot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there I've always wanted a sabertooth skull, and for the past year i see many coming the same seller among other fossils from our favorite auction site. They never really explain how much of the skull, eggs, pssitacosaurus, is authentic and not responded to messages. Do you recommend these products? Thanks! -
Saber Toothed skull, real?
SimpleCollector100 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Mostly I'm just curious, I want to buy one one day but I dont know how to tell a fake form the real thing.. I thought it would look more like real bone but the main characteristics of real bone seem to be gone.. Restoration to lower jaw. From reading another thread here, I get the sense the "fakes" are REALLY REALLY good. If so is there a place to get one that is this good and doesn't cost as much (and is sold as a fake/reproduction)? Thank you- 13 replies

Are Saber Tooth Cat fossil skulls bone or rock?
SimpleCollector100 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I was wondering if the saber tooth can be found in real bone or would it be only in rock ? It seems they existed 11,000 years ago so that means they could be real bone and not just rock? Thank you- 2 replies

I just thought I would share the Journey of my two most recent Saber Toothed Pseudo-Cats (Nimravidae). The first is Hoplophoneus. I got this cat and most people would not even recognize it, but I knew it had potential. Here are the origional pics I took before undergoing the restoration process.
