maybe the owner did the same thing to the original fossil  (especially the crown part), if it really is a real one. 
but thats just my guess, i really don't know tbh. as @tigerluver suggest we need to be careful of this finding.

@GrizzlyClaws, so the upper canine sould be around 6 inch long, right? is that normal for modern tiger/lion?

The two canine teeth above look like some low quality replica products made of resin. And @tigerluver was indeed right, we need to be careful.

BTW, the upper canines could be 20% longer than the lower canines for tiger, whereas a little less for lion.

The largest canine tooth for the modern tiger is about 168 mm, and 137 mm for the modern African lion. Reply
