C2fossils Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Got this shark tooth from a rock show a couple of years ago (when I was not into fossil collecting) and seller said it was from morocco, that is all I know as far as this tooth goes. (I am not a shark tooth expert by any means, but I can tell that the root is composite and not original) Thank you for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielb Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 You are right it looks like the root is faked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielb Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) To me the actual tooth looks like Otodus obliquus. Edited April 2 by Danielb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 the root does look funny, but I am not sure why someone would fake a partial root? 2 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2fossils Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 The other section of the root was also composite that eventually broke off. @Danielb I believe you are correct thank you for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
