BabeSpiny Posted November 28 Posted November 28 (edited) Hello everyone, I saw this Carcharodontosaurus tooth for sale, with a nearly complete root preserved. I know that sometimes the roots of these teeth are fabricated or put together using parts of other fossil bone. I'm not sure if this is the case here or if it is indeed the real root of this tooth. I'd like to hear your opinions. Thank you! Edited November 29 by BabeSpiny
Phos_01 Posted November 28 Posted November 28 This is a complete fabricated rooth, its fake. The crown is real, but not even in that good of shape. Stay away from this one.
Dylan_bo1 Posted November 28 Posted November 28 The root is definitely fake, the do this alot with North African fossils like Mosasaurs. The crown-root transition gives it away most of the time.
BabeSpiny Posted November 29 Author Posted November 29 Thank you all for your kind replies! I'll pass on it then.
