Hi, I found these teeth several years ago on a beach near Venice, Florida. At the time, I didn’t notice the one with what appears to be a primitive type carving on it. I do not normally hunt nor collect shark teeth so any expert opinions would be great appreciated:)

Large Yongshunensis, Rough Prep or Partially Faked?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I will be receiving soon what looks to be a large youngshunensis trilobite, while I am aware of fakes from china I'm not sure if specimens of this trilobite like this just have real rough prep work done to them or if maybe there is some sort of carving involved. Any knowledgeable feedback to whether its a keeper or not will be greatly appreciated, always wanted to nab one of these.- 3 replies

Hello, I almost die, when I was extracting this ammonite from wall of abandoned limestone quarry. So, that's my very first stone preparation, of 200 mm (7,8") ammonite (Perisphinctes), which I found near my hometown - Kraków, Poland. OK, I know, it's not so big, but the largest I have ever found. As You can see I got carried away, so it's half natural specimen, and half carving. Preparation I done with Dremel Engraver and some chisels I made from old files. I enjoyed it well

I've been doing prep work for someone on and off for a couple of years who brings me a lot of ammonites from the southern German Sinemurian and Hettangian exposures. They are often quite large ammonites belonging to the family of the Arietitidae. I was working on one of them for him a while ago as it became apparent that a lot of whorls were missing, so he decided it wouldn't be worth working on it any further. I figured I might be able to make something out of it, so he gave it to me in exchange for a few hours of prep work. Here's what it looked like at that point. The missing whorls are circled in red. Also the innermost whorls are missing. I've already had some experience "faking" whorls at missing points, carving them out of the matrix using the air pen, alternating between flat chisel and point, but I knew that this job was going to take some time. I'd already spent almost 4 hours reaching the point in the photo above and then spent another 8 hours carving, modelling and doing a bit of abrading in between before reaching step 2 where that part of the job was completed more or less to my satisfaction. I needed another 6 hours of abrading to smooth everything out, with the occasional interlude in between to trim off the odd bit of excess matrix here and there. And here's the end product coated in rember. An Arietites solarium (Quenstedt 1863) with a diameter of 46cm. The whorl breadth at the aperture is 13cm.
