See, I have one that looks just like that, but I don't know what it's from. When it was sold to me it was sold as a Spinosaurus tooth, but I know that it isn't.

Hah, Spinosaur has totally different teeth. It's teeth don't even have the same function.
But yeah, if your tooth is similar, it's possible it's also a raptor tooth.

I know, I saw it in the bucket of Spinosaur teeth and snatched it. Got it for a lot less than I should have. I was thinking raptor tooth but a buddy of mine swears it's a Carcarodontid. So I'm unsure myself.
Someday I'll do the research. Or better yet, take it to a specialist.

The Carcharo teeth are roughly the same shape. Round front and flat back edge. Also both serrated.

Yeah, hence the confusion. Either way, it's a nice specimen to have for someone like me who's studying those groups. XD I consider myself lucky I found it.

Wow, amazing preservation. Is it just me or does the texture look like wood?

That's what a 100+ million years does to a tooth I guess
