HI! In my opinion, regarding the teeth of Spinosaurus, two of them (the one in the center and the one on the right) are composite or heavily restored. The one on the left, however, seems to me to be only repaired (you can always try to check with UV light if you see any color changes). I'm not an expert, I'm based on what I've learned here on the forum since I too have opened several topics to ask which teeth were fake or not. I could still be wrong, so wait for the answer from who here has more experience

hello, thanks for the response. Im also suspicious about the centre and right tooth because the enamel's texture is off. I'l try to ask for a UV light and detailed allosaurus image later.

Allo looks great, all Spino teeth on the other hand, are restored. The tooth on the left has a composite root, the sudden colour change indicates that it may has one. The middle tooth however, appears to have many ugly enamel repairs, and I suspect also some crack filling. And the right tooth in my opinion, might be a Frankenstein. The tip doesnt seem to belong to that tooth, as its just wonky insted of straight. It could be completly fake, or from another tooth. I would avoid all of the Spinosaurus teeth.

I would avoid all of these teeth.

the Spinosaurid teeth are heavily restored, and have poor reservation. Many other nicer ones available. They are pretty common. 

Regarding the Allosaurus tooth, I would also wait for a more complete one , from just this video, I cannot see the general quality of the tooth, but its missing the tip, and for me personally it makes for a good tooth. good and intact serrations are also important.

Thanks Phos_01 and brevicolis for the detailed explanation. Also here's a new photo of the allosaurus. Im trying to ask the seller for an image of the tooth from the top view, because im not sure wheter the tooth's tip broke off or if it's a feeding wear.

@ruminate Allosaur (is it really an Allosaur?, might be) looks 100% original, no restoration. Nice one, missing the tip.

The spinos are - as mentioned before - heavily restored. If you like to get big ones at a low budget that´s the condition you can get them at a lot of places in the net or on shows.

The goooooood ones..., are harder to get and more expensive.

So, if you look for a good one, do not buy the spinos you showed. 

The ?Allosaur is worth to buy if you like it. It is complete and the perserved part is 100% original
