Real, Fake, or Composited?
. Fossil maxilla from a grouping of items I purchased out of an old collection from an antique dealer. Definitely coated in a stabilizer/preservative. My concerns are whether or not it is a composited jaw or if it's associated. The teeth seem to be anatomically correct but I am not 100% sure. Everything appears to be real, but I am not great with bear stuff. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Sind die Spinosauruszähne echt? Was meint ihr?
Hello:) ich hab einen spinosauruszahn von einer Händlerin gekauft. Sie scheint mir sehr vertrauenswürdig und professionell- hatte auch weiteren Kontakt mit ihr. Was meint ihr? handelt es sich um einen echten und unpräparierten Zahn (Bild1&2)?
Und ich bin gerade noch am überlegen ob ich mir noch einen zweiten zulegen soll (Bilder 3, 4 &5). Da bin ich mir ehrlich gesagt nicht so sicher, ob da nicht was ausgebessert wurde. Vielleicht könnt ihr mir auch dsbei helfen. Was meint ihr dazu?
Danke schonmal im voraus!

Is this an actual Mosasaurus jaw?
Bought this at a rock and mineral show for 80 bucks without a second thought. But when I got home I realized it looked off.

Can someone help ID these fossils and if they are authentic?
I’ve had them since I was 8 years old and just came across them again. I’ve always wanted to know more about them and 29 years later here I am. Thank you!

Got more pictures from the seller: Is this Keichousaurus real, touched up or a fake?
It‘s from a private seller that offers a couple of different fossils, a meteorite and minerals. He asked 950 € for this Keichousaurus , it’s 20x30cm. The seller is from Germany said it’s authentic and was very nice so far. He sent me some more pictures but he still hasn’t sent me the paperwork - he said he’s still looking for it. What do you think?

Spinosaurus UV root glow?
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."
