Authenticating quartz (?) Keichousaurus?
Roses posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! First, does anyone know what the mineral composition of most keich fossils is? The common darkly colored ones? Or does it vary a great deal? I have some idea what to look for in the “normal” dark keich fossils, but this one appears to be composed of mostly quartz…? Or is it something else? This seems challenging to fake and the photos look convincing to me, but I have no experience in comparing these white keich specimens. Is this likely to be real?- 9 replies

I just purchased one today, and everything seems to check out. It's got the right bone count, intricate features look good and are raised above the matrix. It's got no black light reflection, and it's bought from a reputable local dealer. It seems to me that it's real, but I'd like to run it past an expert as well. Do you know anyone who can verify it's authenticity?
