Repair on carcharodontosaurus tooth?

[Per Christian]

Hello all,

 

I'm thinking of buying this carcharodontosaurus tooth, it's 78 mm long, but it looks a little restored in my unprofessional eyes. What do people here think?

Hi !  @Per Christian

 

Nice size tooth ! BUT There is quite a bit of Enamel peel on this tooth and some worn down serrations both Mesial and distal side and IMO look like a little bit of restoration to the tip . 

 

let see what others say!

Cheers!

I would personally avoid this tooth. There looks to be a significant amount of restoration and the serrations aren’t crisp.

 

there will be better carcharodontosaurus teeth out there for sure

The parts I highlighted are those I suspect to be repaired or restored

 

If you don't mind a restored tooth and this tooth is within your budget, you can consider it

Thanks guys. It's at an auction site so I'll keep an eye on it but I won't pay much for it. My impression is that teeth longer than 2 inches are becoming rare and expensive, so I've figured it could be a good one if the price is right. It really helps to know what I'm buying. I appreciate your feedback
