Brevicollis Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hello, i saw this Carcharodontosaurus tooth for sale today, and wondered If the root is real and belongs to It. I dont see anything wrong on it, but maybe you guys see something ive overlooked. Thanks ! I like fossils... Thats all I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Well, there is quite some repair on the crown, and the last image makes me question if the tip is really from that tooth, the cutting edge flows in and out and in again. Might be the angle, but looks strange to me. Shape and the depression of the root look good. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think JoeS is correct what comes about the crown. There is color and texture change close to the tip. Also grooves at sides of the tooth stop in that spot. There's no such thing as too many teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praefectus Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 +1 for fake tip. Possible other restorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phos_01 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 As others have pointed out, this is not a good example of a Carch tooth. The crown has mayor resto, especially at one side. Serrations are mostly gone. And the root , we need more pictures to see if this one passes. I would avoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorisVV Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Root doesnt look real either. High likely a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
