Opinion on Mammoth tooth


Recommended Posts

Hi I bought this piece, do you think it is a replica or genuine? I am sure that it was stabilized with epoxy but rather than that I seems very detailed. It's very heavy and rock hard.

 

I has told it was found in Poland.

 

I am a new user, I hope this is the right section. Thanks everyone !

Looks good to me.  I'm not sure what you mean by "stabilized with epoxy" but these teeth usually have to be consolidated (hardened) with butvar or B72 to keep them from cracking and crumbling as they dry, so that would not be a concern for your tooth.

Yes I mean that treatment. I didn't know the exact product/resin(?)
