  1. This was sold to me as a piece of Miocene feline jaw - potentially pristifelis. The seller didn't have a firm ID and I understand because it's so fragmentary that it might just be impossible. He believed it was likely from Asia somewhere. Thoughts? Does it at least look feline?
  2. I went to a local fossil show and saw some highly priced insects too good to be true. They were. Some were done quite well but my $15 30X loupe (magnifying glass) really made the fakes obvious. I took these pics at the show. Pic 1 is presumably a Neuroptera on matrix. Pic 2 is the same Neuroptera though the loupe and you can see it is an obvious forgery. It has been painted. Pic 3 is an obvious painted insect on a piece with 2 cretaceous Lycoptera fish, raising its selling price at least 50 fold. The abdomen in this case is especially badly done. Pic 4 is a different kind of fake, it is an Od
  3. Hello, I'm currently looking to purchase reptile material and found this Keichousaurus fossil from the Guizhou Province of China. It is being offered on a popular auction site. It is supposedly Triassic. Is this fossil genuine? Restored? Thanks for the help.

    Are the IDs on these Cambrian fossils correct?

    Hello! I bought these Cambrian soft tissue fossils supposedly from Yunnan in china off of online auction site. I won them in a bid for suspiciously cheap. They seem real to me, but I’d be interested in confirmation of that. I’m also interested what you guys have to say as to what these are. Thanks! One is listed as Naraoia spinosa, the other, fainter one is listed as Vetulicola.
  5. Hi everyone! One of the goals for my collection is to eventually own a keichousaurus fossil as they’ve come to really fascinate and captivate me. I’ve done some research externally and on the forum about how to identify real or fake or restored keich fossils and I wanted your guys’ input on this specimen I’ve recently come across. Admittedly, the prep work on this keich fossil, if real, is pretty bad and is definitely not something I’d go after, but I wanted to see if my bit of research has payed off. My guess is that the specimen is real, however, it seems

    Chinese Eurypterid?

    I purchased this as a supposed Silurian Megalograptus from Yunnan a while back. The seller gave me additional information that it came from the Devonian Cuifengshan Formation in Qujing, Yunnan, China. However, the genus Megalograptus is Ordovician in age. I'm not really familiar with eurypterids, so maybe it's not even a sea scorpion. It certainly looks like some kind of invertebrate though. But maybe it's just indeterminate debris.

    Ichthyosaur eye socket ?

    This is a partial skull of an ichthyosaur from Yunnan of China. There is a big circular part below the skull, is it a detached eye socket?

    Chancelloriid from China?

    Hello, Could I get an identification for this fossil from the Cambrian of Yunnan, China? It was described as a "Chancelloria", but I don't know if that specific genus is described from this locality and the sclerites aren't star-shaped. It may be a related Chancelloriid, and it seems there are several described from China. My best guess is something like Allonia: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316342674_Chancelloriid_Allonnia_erjiensis_sp_nov_from_the_Chengjiang_Lagerstatte_of_South_China http://www.paulselden.net/uploads/7/5/3/2/7532217/zhaoetal20
  11. Here is my recent acquisition from Inner Mongolia of China in the Jiulongshan formation, more commonly and famously known as Daohugou, which dates to middle Jurassic around 165 mya. The part and counterpart partial insect fossil appears to be a neuropteran, perhaps related to the family of Grammolingiidae (a group of lacewings that include “Jurassic butterflies”, so named on account of their huge spotted wings). Only one of the wings and a small part of another were found in the fossil. The wing, however, is slightly more than two inches (5cm) long. The head and thorax but not the abdomen are

    Assorted Miocene Teeth From China

    So I purchased 19 assorted Miocene-aged teeth from (according to the American seller) China a few years ago. The seller had given most of them a vague label (which I've labelled the pics with) - but wasn't able to get more specific. Could anyone help me narrow down which species they might be? Are there resources people are aware of that could help point me in the direction of being able to ID these teeth? Or is it very unlikely I'll get any definitive ID on these and I'll just have to accept a broad family-level description of what they are? I attached an extra picture of a giraffid tooth fro
  14. Hello from Switzerland. I'll be happy to write some lines in the member introduction forum this week-end, but I must admit I need help regarding this egg asap. It'll be offered in a auction house in France next week. Provenance China, Xixian, Hunan, 6.6 inches long. I read here all the pages regarding fakes, but it's hard when you're a newbie (I'm an amber collector) regarding dino eggs.. Thanks in advance, Jacques.

  17. Hello. Is this matrix from Nanxiong Formation? Please tell me. Thanks in advance.
  18. Could I ask everyone’s opinion. I purchased some Amber from China. I was told it was real, but I am not sure. I tried the salt water test and it does not float with two cups of warm water and a quarter cup of salt. Another piece that was purchased from a reputable seller does float. When I add A lot more salt then it all floats. Can anyone help me? Here are some photos with and without UV light.

    Xixia Amber (Gaogou Formation, 100.5-85.8 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    Amber Xixia Basin, Xixia County, Henan Province, China Gaogou Formation (100.5-85.8 Ma) Total Weight: 10.1 grams Overview: These pieces are all unwashed and still have an extremely fine layer of sediment; each has high clarity and rich color, many are naturally droplet-shaped, and individual measurements range from 1 to 8 millimeters in length. A few fragments of coal are also present within the lot. Prevalence, Inclusions, Botanical Source: Amber itself is quite common within the Xixia Basin, hosting China's largest amber reserves, but despite this
