CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SPINOSAURUS
This is an IMPRESSIVE and FINE grade Spinosaurus dinosaur tooth. It comes from a MASSIVE dinosaur and has a very thick cross-section for its length. This tooth would have come from the side of the jaw of a maximum size Spinosaurus. What is rare is that the tip is sharp and unworn which is unheard of coming from a dinosaur this large that would have been constantly feeding to maintain its enormous body mass.
Very few Spinosaurus teeth are on the market of this quality. An uncommon level of preservation and seldom seen size with a sharp tip like this one! 100% ORIGINAL - NO FABRICATION.
NOTE: A common trick to fake large dinosaur teeth in the market is to attach either a bunch of sand mixed with glue on the end of the tooth's root to exaggerate the length or even worse, fabricate a giant impressive tooth by combining and blending multiple teeth sections together to appear as one massive tooth or to fabricate the bottom portion of the tooth and extend, by a much as DOUBLE OR MORE, the original length of the tooth before work started. The workmanship of a few notorious United States-based fakers is of the finest workmanship and VERY convincing in appearance. There have been European fakers also known to create and sell these large teeth. Don't be fooled when you are shopping for large dinosaur teeth of ANY SPECIES, not just Spinosaurus. These are common practices of both unscrupulous and uninformed dealers. We see these "doctored" large dinosaur teeth offered quite frequently and numerous junk, worthless teeth that have been converted and heavily modified are selling for ridiculously high prices, mostly at shows and on the internet. Ebay is one of the worst places for this where fraud runs rampant and unchecked in the entire rare collectibles field but some fossil show dealers and internet sites have been pawning these "creations" off for years now, as well!
