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!

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.

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.

Thank you all for your kind replies! I'll pass on it then.
