Brevicollis Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hello, i saw this Megalodon tooth for sale today. The description says, its really heavy, but the seller doesnt know, If its real or not. So i basicly ask for two people. Its not known where it was found, but i think its real, the form matches, it has stripes and serrations. So what do you think about it ? Are good signatures really that important ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The blade looks painted & has what appears to be tiny holes, possibly from air bubbles, at least in my opinion. It just doesn't "feel" right to me. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I agree with @daves64...lots of air bubbles. There are a few spots where the white plaster is showing where they didn't get it covered with the paint or stain (looks more like a stain to me). I would stay away. 1 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Brevicollis Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Thanks for the quick responses. I didn't see the little holes at first, but now, the whole thing looks fake and painted. 2 Are good signatures really that important ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phos_01 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Looks like a cast. But why bother with it ? There are tons of them out there with proper provenance and information. Try to look for a good source, and get another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
