guys, I recently browsed through some Carcharodontosaurus saharicus teeth online and found a situation that I didn't quite understand. Their teeth are often described as like daggers, very thin and very sharp. and why can we still see some teeth marked as Carcharodontosaurus saharicus teeth, they are thicker, and they look a bit like tyrannosaurids from the anterior serration view. Why are their teeth different in morphology? Does it depend on different tooth positions?

This carcharodontosaurus rooted tooth is a composite?

Hello I recently came across this rooted carcharodontosaurus tooth, as always the suspicion is that the root is from another tooth and was placed next to this one. But I need help confirming my hypothesis, what leaves me in doubt is that some tooth cracks extend to the root. Could anyone help me figure out if this tooth is a fabrication?- 5 replies

Carcharodontosaurus saharicus tooth
thelivingdead531 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone! I’m looking at this tooth online and wanted to get some opinions as to the quality of it. Seller lists it as Carcharodontosaurus saharicus from Morocco. The tip is worn, and I’m wondering if that is from a break or possible feeding wear? The other thing I’m wondering is the indention on the side of the tooth. Seller claims it’s occlusal wear from a tooth on the opposing jaw. I know I’ve seen photos of similar incidents (that’s probably not the right word for it but it’s all that’s coming to mind) and wanted opinions on that aspect as well. Are these features less desirable? I think that aspect makes it kind of neat, and more “real” so to speak. Would this be a nice tooth to help jump start a theropod tooth collection? Any opinions are greatly welcomed. Thanks!- 9 replies
