Hi, I've got this for [price redacted), claimed to be a fossile from Morroco. What are the chances of it being authentic? Really appreciate your comments.

I have removed the price, as per Forum rules.

 

To my eye, there may be parts that are genuine, but the teeth seem emplaced, and the skull partly or mostly composited.

The last photo is the only one close enough to see the bone texture.  I see no bone in there.  Croc skull bones have a very distinctive texture and it is not there.

Thank you very much for your kind responses. Indeed there was no sign of bone structure on it and the dealer admitted that it was not authentic. I returned the piece.

 

Thank you again,

Milad
