This tooth is 100% original with no restoration or filling.
Nodosaurs and ankylosaurs are very similar armored dinosaurs with a few features to distinguish the two: ankylosaurs often have clubbed tails, nodosaurs tend to have more intimidating armor features like large spikes. Their teeth also have slight differences with nodosaur teeth being generally more broad in width.
