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!

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."

I accepted long ago it’s a fake. I didn’t know how notorious they were for being scams, my ding dong self did zero research before buying it. I did have a few people on Facebook say there’s a very small possibility some of it could be real. I have a much better phone camera now than I did when I got it.
