New Members Jurassic_Nature Posted March 24 New Members Share Posted March 24 Hello everyone, I was wondering which parts of this rooted mosasaur tooth are real. There is a second tooth in it which looks like a replacement tooth and next to it there is also a shark tooth. Can you tell if the bones of the jaw are real? I thought the bigger tooth could be glued on the root, like it's often the case with mosasaur teeth from morocco. And why is there a shark tooth in the bone? Any insight is appreciated.

Brevicollis Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Yup, the tooth is glued back with plaster to the root. But the other teeth and bones seem to be real. Dont see this negative, its still a nice looking piece for display !

rocket Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Its coincidence, teeth are often mixed in the sediment. I do not think it is a replacement tooth, three different ones together Might be it has original skull bones attached, reglued 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
