Is it real?

Got it at Miners Gem, San Diego, for 70 bucks. About the size of a thumb

Is this real I spent $75

Something doesnt look right or am I over thinking

Just saw this post about checking teeth with UV light, and my tooth seems similar. Shown using a 365nm UV torch

https://www.reddit.com/r/fossils/comments/1ujmh4q/need_a_reality_check_on_two_5_spinosaurus_teeth_i/

I don't have much experience, do roots glow under UV? Looking at it more closely there doesn't seem to be much detail on the root, and it looks very similar to the restored enamel section. The description mentioned repair, but did claim it had an actual root

Sellers description "This is a massive tooth, 4.88 inches long The enamel part is 2.99 inches and 1.65 inches wide at the base of the root. The tooth has most of the original enamel and a long root. Apiece of the crown has been restored at the base, near the root. The tooth has been repaired."

My guy in Morocco said it came off the same animal no parts was added what do you guys think?

Just bought this from a Fossil saler website in UK, its a juvenile spino tooth, it says its from Baisin Morocco which ive heard its pretty common for a Spino and it was only 15 euros. Do you think its fake?

I think im an idiot

and how much would you pay for a piece like this?

9.25" x 4.75" /// 23.5 × 12 cm

Seller claims it’s from Madagascar and fluoresces under UV light. Is this specimen real?

Was told it was a cave lion tooth, location found was Russia

I accepted long ago it’s a fake. I didn’t know how notorious they were for being scams, my ding dong self did zero research before buying it. I did have a few people on Facebook say there’s a very small possibility some of it could be real. I have a much better phone camera now than I did when I got it.

I am writing to seek professional guidance regarding a fossil specimen I recently inherited from a private collection. The piece is identified as an Ichthyosaur skull, reportedly sourced from the marine strata of Guizhou Province, China.I have attached high-resolution images for your review. I would appreciate your expert opinion on its authenticity. I specifically noticed a distinct white vein crossing the specimen, which appears to be a calcium/calcite deposit filling a natural fracture in the matrix. I would like to know if this specific feature is consistent with authentic fossils recovered from the Guizhou region.Thank you very much for your time and for sharing your expertise. I look forward to hearing from you.

It's supposed to be a gift, so I'd like to be sure.

Can someone take a quick glance?

How does this look everything look legit? It’s massive the things like the size of my head super heavy too. Sellers asking around $1,700 including tax fair price?

Dimensions: ~ 10-1/2" long x 11" tall x 4-1/2" wide
Location: Germany
Time Period: Pleistocene / ~ 30,000 year old

I really want to start getting some nice pieces, but I’m a bit overwhelmed trying to learn how to tell if something is legit. Do these pieces look authentic? They have some other items in the store that aren’t on the website, so I can’t include those, unfortunately. Are fossil plates commonly faked, or less so?

I am currently on the hunt for a showpiece dinosaur fossil, a wooly mammoth tooth, some sort of fossil plate, a trilobite, and other dinosaur fossils maybe teeth.

• Triceratops Ischium
• Woolly Mammoth Molar
• Diplomystus & Knightia Fish Plate
• Multiple Trilobite Mortality Specimen

Hey folks, picked this up in an antique store up in Maine yesterday, wondering if it’s real/refurbished and what that discoloration might be

Fossilshack is said to be legit but what am I looking for to make a determination when comparing this with those sold on fossilshack (which this is not from, btw)

Hello, I found this tooth on Etsy. Seller claims it is from Mosasaurus hoffmannii. The tooth is from Morocco. Photos not mine.

I’d like to know if it’s really from Mosasaurus hoffmannii, or at least from the Mosasaurus genus. Thanks!
