Howdy all, Seller says these are dinosaur eggshells from the Gobi Desert. Is that true? If they are authentic, the seller also says they are of oviraptor. I took the liberty to compare them to oviraptor eggshells and they didn't match up. I then compared them to some maiasaura shells which have a similar texture and my opinion now is that these are of some sort of ornithopod, possibly a hadrosaur like barsboldia or saurolophus.

Hi everyone! I saw these for sale listed as "Sabretooth cat upper molars from the gansu province of china", which is really cool since I've always wanted sabre cat material but I have no experience with these fossils (since they are unreasonably difficult to find/ get a hold of) so I'm hoping the forum can give a second opinion on the ID and point out any potential funny business (besides the obvious repaired break on one, which I'm okay with). Size isn't listed, but I have contacted the seller asking about that and am awaiting a response. Any insight is appreciated as always!

Real/fake? Megalodon tooth.
Stagz4312 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Recently was handed down a Megalodon tooth. Started doing a little research on megalodon teeth, and noticed people make replicas/fakes. I am no expert on shark teeth. So, I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone with expertise could determine if the tooth I have acquired is a replica or real. thank you!

Need help to identiy my two brittle star fossils
MHAN posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Dear friends, I am very new to fossil collections and know little things about fossils. The brittle star fossils attached below are my first collection. I love brittle stars and I got it from a local seller in Australia. I would like to have your opinion on these two fossils. Are they authentic? If they are, where are they from (I only know they are from morroco), but not sure which part. Thanks!

Possible Stegosaurus plate?
StMoney posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I've been keeping an eye out for a stegosaurus plates for a while and I came across this guy. From some of the pictures it looks like a piece of neck armor. The shape and size seems about right but it's hard to tell if the base and tip are the right width ratios. Additionally looking at it zoomed in I'm not really seeing blood vessels and it looks more like a piece of sand stone so I'm not convinced it's real but I've been lurking on the site for a while and want to get some advice from others what they thought before paying the price -
I recently purchased a spinosaurus tooth from a website which claim the tooth is genuine. I was hoping if any of you guys could confirm it’d be much appreciated:)

Help! Cretaceous Dragonfly (Cordulagomphus) Fossil
KyCollector posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there! I’m very new to the forum. I’ve recently been collecting various specimens - crinoids, fish, brittle starfish, trilobites, etc. I’ve come across the attached Cordulagomphus. The seller has said he/she purchased the fossil from a shop in Tucson, Arizona in the past and that it was found in Brazil, but I’m almost scared it’s a bit too good to be true, and I don’t want to get burned after paying the price. Can anyone take a look and tell me what they think? I really appreciate it!
