eBay Dinosaur Tooth - Real or Fake? | Fossil Cross Section

Показать описание

We got a Dinosaur tooth on ebay, and the best way to find out if something is real is to destroy it. We cut it in half with the waterjet and ran a few tests. We also cut some other fossils that we had. They turned out pretty cool when did the cross section and we found a geode inside a clam fossil.

Are you or anyone you know going through a divorce? If so, i'm sorry to hear about it, but we'd love to help divide the assets with some simple waterjet cutting.

Definitely real tooth. People think spino is a rare dinosaur, realistically the skeletons are super rare but their teeth are extremely common. It would actually cost more to make a replica of a small tooth like that rather then send the real tooth. My experience is that I work at a museum and university in the paleontology labs. That tooth came from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco, most common dino tooth you could find. They sell them by hundreds to dealers around the world

I'm pretty sure it's fake? fossilized doesn't mean the internals are replaced perfectly with a homogeneous gipsum rock thing. Looks way too clean and even.

This is easily missed if you don't open the description, but this is funny as hell

He didn't throw the clay at the wall 🙁 I was really waiting for that.

I have been studying dinosaurs for 800 years and the lack of a lick test has me concerned because that is the only way to know for sure but from my expert knowledge and vast experience of 800 years o would say without a doubt that is a genuine 100% cavity free spineasaur!

I feel like some day they are gonna cut something that's close to priceless and lose it in the

It's fake looks like plaster or investment considering how it broke

I could tell from instant I saw bright white inside, it was Chinese plaster. Man made. Should be darker inside.

Take it from a geologist. The lick test works especially with fossils. Some of the bone structure is preserved and your tongue will stick to it sightly. It's better used comparing the fossil with the rock next to it but it can work with just a line fossil.

I collect dinosaur fossil teeth and I can tell you it’s definitely a genuine tooth. Small Spino teeth like this one are fairly common, but main reason they are cheap is because they are all imported from Morocco where everything is cheap. Many larger ones are composited teeth and/or have repairs, natural big teeth are rare and very expensive. BTW of course you don’t smell anything out of it, it’s a fully fossilised bone that is over at least 95 million years

The tooth is indeed real. The difference between a Mammoth and a Spinosaur is that in geological terms, the Mammoth is relatively recent (they were even hunted by man), and the Spinosaur is 100, 000, 000 years old. A mammoth tooth would therefore be expected to not have the same degree of fossilization as the Spinosaur tooth. Anyway, Spinosaur teeth, just like Mosasaur teeth, are very very common.

He seriously shaved that mammoth ivory like it was nothing lmao..

Looks like a typical tooth from the Kem Kem formation in Morocco. Fossil digging is big business there so lots found. But, also, most likely heavily restored too. I wouldn’t assume the eBay seller is scamming you, they just buy bulk fossils from sellers who import from Morocco and then sell on eBay for a profit. The eBay seller wouldn’t know if they are real or not or a spinasaur tooth or not, but go on faith from the bulk seller. If you’ve been scammed then so has the eBay seller. The seller probably gave you a free gift to encourage you to buy more from them, no doubt put a business card in in so you’ll go to their non-eBay site.
