I recognize this prop. It was sold by an eBay seller that also sold me a fake "production used" Bull T. rex tooth. It came with some shitty hand made COA. It's clearly not from the same mold as the screen used prop as seen in the image I posted above. The tell-tale give away for me that shows this was a fake is the way the back of the tooh "bends" instead of flowing in a natural curve. The T. rex tooth I bought off this guy (pictured right) looked legit, too. Accurate paint detailing on the bottom, painted on placement number, even flecks of dried glue on the screw, but believe me it was a fake. The truth is, there were no production teeth made. There was a single prop made, the one Pratt holds in the movie. However, there would be none made with drill holes. There was no animatronic made for the iRex, thus no where to put teeth with drill holes into.

Now, I also happen to have in my possession, a replica Carcharodontosaurus tooth, and a replica "Sue" the T. rex tooth (one of the original runs). On the left is the Carcharodontosaurus tooth, on the right is the Sue tooth. I took pictures of booth the serrated and the flat sides off the teeth. The Carcharodontosaurus tooth is a classic Allosauroid tooth: flat, sharp, serated edges, perfect for slicing into flesh like a newly sharpened bowie knife. The T. rex tooth, on the other hand, is conical. It's like a thick, bent, railroad spike. In other words, it's exactly like the iRex tooth. Look at the teeth in the screenshot. Big, round, cones. They're not flat slicers, they're big cones made to puncture.
