Repaired Carch tooth?

[BonuFrailman]

Hi everyone,

 

I was looking around for carch teeth and this one caught my eye. It’s in rough shape but I don’t mind. Only issue is, to me the tooth looks like it has some glue and possibly composite on it. I want to know what you guys think so please let me know! Does it look like a low quality tooth, or a bad repair job?

 

Tooth measures 4 inches long and comes from the Kem Kem Basin

I dont see a composite but I do see what looks like some poorly done restoration (fill) in the center of the crown of your second photo.  There are also other areas with potential resto. I would rate any common theropod tooth with very poor serration, missing enamel and resto as very poor quality.

Informative as always! Thanks again

Yeah, at least poor repair. At worst it might be a composite.
