Which is best

Hey guys wondering which of these 3 would be the best option in buying a spinosaurus tooth. They are all likely to be composites but does any look preferable to the others as I am not an expert on this. Thanks so much :)

Megalodon Shark - Tooth -

I have the impression that the root is fake, but after looking at the megalodon tooth of this region I have doubts, does anyone know much about it?

Spinosaurus tooth

Bought one from a seller on Etsy for roughly $55, wondering if real or not, these are the pictures from the Etsy shop, not the one I received. It definitely felt like a tooth but I'm not experienced enough in fossils to make the call. Fake or real, it's a cool gift for my friend, but I'm super hoping it's real (as it's a gift to a friend, I'd rather avoid licking it lol, otherwise I would in a heartbeat)

No experience, is this real at this price?

I want to buy a fossil for a gift, a lot I found on ebay are surprisingly reasonably priced. So much so that I am skeptical.

I’ve always had this doubt that this is real in my mind, is it?

Sort of cheating with this post, because I already know the answer to whether these are fake or not. These are some really nice Otodus shark teeth a family member bought me as a gift at a rock show, but take a look closer at them and you’ll see what’s wrong…
