Hi are these real? There is a rooted Globidens and a big globiden jaw and a small carcharodontasaurus tooth.

 

Mostly thinking about the jaw. Is it real with original teeth that were not placed into the jaw? Is it worth it or should I pass? Here Is some info about the fossil

The Globidens teeth look extremely glued on.  Look at the individual one you posted before the dino tooth.  See that different color and texture immediately below the enamel?  To me, that is sand and glue holding the two pieces together.  Each tooth in the jaw seems to have the same thing.  

 

I know there are others here who know Moroccan mosasaur better than I, so let's see what they have to say.

Jaw looks like its been assembled with real bone, hard to say if its all from one individual or composited from others.  Teeth are real with composited crowns, like others have said.   Tooth is a Carcharodontosaurid looks okay with the outer edge worn or broken off.

The Globidens jaw is a complete fabrication. All the teeth have been artificially placed and not in the correct order. The jawbone itself is riddled with cracks and crack fill.

The rooted teeth are composites. There is a layer of sand and glue between the root and crown.

For reference, this is what an original Moroccan Globidens phosphaticus jaw looks like.
