Is this Iridescent ammonite real?
GallinaPinta posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
So this ammonite was listed for less than 4 dollars but I think it's too pretty. The seller didn't post any other photos unfortunately. They are supposedly from morocco but the seller is from china.

This clutch is said to be found in Beipiu of Liaoning, China. It is said to be the primitive mammal of Triconodontidae. You can see the presence of individuals of different sizes. Any idea which species is that?

Hello to all! I have recently won the rolling auction here on the forum, and one of the items included was a Cambrian panlongia from China. I understand that the two species of Panlongia can be distinguished by the presence of spines along the sides of the thorax but I really can't tell on this piece, so if there is any other way to know which it is I would love to hear it! At the same time the same piece of matrix features something else right next to it, I am not sure what it is, could it be a brachiopod? And when flipped over there is another fossil looking object below it, is this some kind of ichnofossil or something else? Thank you very much, Misha

This is a dinosaur tooth found at Ganzhou of China. Any idea if it is a tooth of Tyrannosauripus? The footprint of Tyrannosauripus has recently been found there.

Hi, this specimen is from Guizhou of China. It is Triassic. Any idea what kind of plant is that? There are not many plant fossils from Guizhou where you all know has a rich collection of of Keichousaurus hui and other Triassic marine reptile fossils instead.

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.

Just recieved this from a Chinese seller ( might not be originally from there though!) Stated as Pleistocene. Not sure what I am looking at. I have tried comparing with many photos online and can't seem to come up with a good match. Might this be from an "off the normal grid" bovine such as Water Buffalo or oxen or just a very senile animal like bison? Heck, it may not even be bovid at all. There doesn't seem to be a pronounced stylid on the side. Any and all opinions are welcomed.

Hi all, please be careful whenever you purchase Chinese vertebrate fossils or dinosaur eggs, especially turtles and birds. While some of these may look laughably fake, a search on purchase history reveals that these fossils have been sold over and over again. No prize for guessing which auction site these fossils were sold. I notice three devious techniques used by these sellers: 1) Issuing a certificate, claiming it's been examined by experts etc - Certs mean nothing, unless they are provided by actual museums 2) Selling some real fossils - I've been monitoring this seller's listings for years. Every now and then, a real one shows up. His victims may have bought something genuine from him before, and assumed all his listings are good. 3) Selling replicas alongside his fake fossils - By outright proclaiming some of his listings as replicas, this seller creates the impression that he is a responsible seller who would inform people about the true nature of their purchases. "The best lies have an element of truth" Remember, if you aren't absolutely sure of your purchase, post some pics here on TFF. We have experts who would help you if they can. Also, if you need more info about this listings or the seller, feel free to PM me.

Can anyone help me to identify this skull?? It came from China 30 years ago and appears to be a young cave bear but I am not 100% positive. I thought it may be a bear-dog or Hyaenodon type of canid but the snout is too short. A percrocuta was also a thought, but they seem extremely rare. Any information would be gladly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

From the album: Vertebrates
Saurichthys dawaziensis Wu et al., 2009 Middle Triassic Dawazi Yunnan PRC together with other unidentified fish -
Went to my property the other day to pick up our camping trailer and couldn't help but go through a couple more boxes in my fossil shed. Found these in a tote with a bunch of Scotia Bluff material. Not sure why they were in that box but made for a nice surprize. Here's the thing, I can not remember the name of these fish, the formation or the age. Nothin. All I know is that I got them from a chinese dealer long ago in Tucson. Any help is appreciated. thank you and I got more in the garage. RB

Hi everyone! I need help! I Will have this specimens in a few weeks.The biggest one is Machairodus horibilis lower jaw, i hope so. I got these stuff from my friend from China. Also, as u can see there is a lower canine from a Cave Hyena. But it's somehow long and tick for a Hyena canine. I don't know what to think about the lower jaw, it's more similar to canids and Hyenas then to felids. And yes, at the end phalanx of ferret? If someone can help somehow to determine this, that Will help me a lot to know what's the real truth. Thanks guys again! Darko

I noticed this thing on a plate of hyoliths I received from the Middle Cambrian Zhangxia Fm, Shandong, China. It kind of looks like a carpoid to me, but it may just be a suggestively shaped fragment of some other fossil. Any thoughts?
