Mukti Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I this a real or fake tooth? It looks legit to me but this I am not very familiar with this species. Also the description states it has glued fractures. How does that effect the specimen? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It's a real tooth of a Carcharodontosaurid. Glued fractures doesn't hurt the fossil if done right. It may have restoration on the tip. Need photos of the other side. 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Troodon Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Agreed its a Carcharodontosaurid no way to determine if its from the species Carcharodontosaurus. The tip area looks worn, enamel is no longer present. Like Andy said need to see other side but its real. The glue probably was used to stabilize or repair this area which is a common practice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think that's a quite nice, though not perfect, tooth. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone guy Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I agree the tip looks a bit restored but the serations look good which is usually more than you can ask for with these teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
