This specimen being offered here is a spectacular example with all the desired features.  The tip, serrations and enamel are all supreme, rare features for a tooth this size.  The high-res close-up images above show the proof.  Even more amazing, this THREE INCH tooth is 100% INTACT and COMPLETE with NO REPAIR, NO RESTORATION, and NO ENHANCEMENT.  A tooth like this is VERY RARE in large meat-eating dinosaur teeth.  Enamel is a warm and mesmerizing mix of burnt orange, bright reds and warm golds.  Leading edge of tip has silicified sand still attached.  The natural luster and surface density is on the highest order.  This tooth is A TRUE INVESTMENT FOSSIL since fossil dinosaur teeth of this caliber are VERY RARE.  The original enamel is intact with natural gloss.  A RARE and HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE genuine INVESTMENT FOSSIL DINOSAUR TOOTH from the largest meat-eating dinosaur that ever lived

Large Carcharodontosaurus dinosaur teeth of fine quality AND LACKING RESTORATION OR ENHANCEMENT have sharply appreciated in price and rarity.  As fewer fine grade specimens are found and more and more collectors demand them, the logistics of their investment potential and continued appreciation is obvious.  Even so, they are still a bargain compared to equal quality T. rex teeth with many of those specimens selling in the thousands WITH restoration and considerable reconstruction.  Fine large Carcharodontosaurus dinosaur teeth will continue to escalate in price as time goes on.

WARNING:

Many large dinosaur teeth in the market today have been subject to extensive enhancement and fabrication.  As the prices for large specimens continues to climb, the profits that can be gained illicitly are obvious and unless you are well-versed in restoration and repair, even dealers have been fooled.  We have seen composites of a root from one tooth attached to the crown of another specimen.  We have also seen massive but heavily worn stub teeth with fabricated tips and the entire tooth stained to a lustrous and "too good to be true" finish.  This is usually evident in such well-defined and wavy color line where the crown color meets the lower root portion.  If you see a large tooth in today's market that is of such extraordinary perfect condition, you should be HIGHLY SUSPECT AND GET EVERY POSSIBLE GUARANTEE OF NO FABRICATION OR RESTORATION IN WRITING BY THE DEALER!!!  Ebay is THE worse for getting stuck by these.  One dealer routinely sells amazingly large and extraordinary specimens that are mostly plastic.  After years of doing this, he still has somehow avoided even a NEUTRAL feedback!!!  

Don't be fooled when you are shopping for ANY large dinosaur teeth.  These are common practices of both unscrupulous and uninformed dealers.  It really pays to know who you are buying from!   We see both of these practices done quite frequently in the large tooth market and numerous junk teeth are selling for ridiculous high prices as well as "too good to be true" prices.  (ESPECIALLY on EBAY where fake EVERYTHING is RAMPANT!) 

Stick with a dealer who actually has direct experience with performing restoration work so he or she intimately KNOWS what to look for.  This is  MUST!  We have over two decades of experience in this field and we WILL DISCLOSE any work done when we sell a specimen.
