This is said to be a piece of coral from Guizhou of China. What do you think?

I just received these small Cambrian hyoliths from China. The seller was unable to provide any specific ID, and does not know what formation they come from. All he knew was that they come from near Woniu Mountain, Linyi City, Shandong Province. They are about a quarter inch long each. Any thoughts?

This is said to be a Triassic tree fern from Guangxi, China. It measures about 31cm in diameter. Any idea if it is a tree fern or other fern?

The order of Acipenseriformes (Sturgeon-like fishes) both includes sturgeons (Acipenseridae) and paddlefish (Polyodontidae). At least three Sturgeon-like fishes (Acipenseriformes) can be found in the Jiufotang Formation (Jehol Group) and in the Yixian Formation in western Liaoning and northern Hebei Province China: Peipiaosteus pani Liu and Zhou, 1965, Protopsephurus liui Lu, 1994 and Yanosteus longidorsalis Jin, Tian, Yang & Deng, 1995. The Jiufotang Formation - where Peipiaosteus comes from - is dated to about 120.3+/-0.7 million years ago, which was during the Aptian age of the Cretaceous; the Yixian Formation - where Protopsephurus liui and this Y. longidorsalis can be found - is dated slightly older, around 125-121 million years ago (Barremian-early Aptian). Diagnosis from Hilton et al 2021, p. 2: "A †peipiaosteid (sensu Grande and Bemis, 1996) that differs from all other members of the family by possessing an extremely elongate dorsal fin. Other characters that, in combination, differentially diagnose †Yanosteus from other Acipenseriformes include short, stout pectoral fin spine, supraorbital sensory canal anterior to frontal surrounded by a series of small bony tubes, and the absence of epaxial caudal-fin rays."

Do you think this is a genuine skeleton of psittacosaurus?

Hi all, I've been searching the internet pretty thoroughly the last few weeks, checking everywhere multiple times a day to find a low-quality keichousaurus to practice prepping on, (knowing that 95% of specimens are fabricated or heavily restored) and I think I may have found one. The price is so reasonable that I really don't care whether or not it's partially fake or restored, as it will make a decent display or even a gift if it turns out to be 100% fabricated. So I suppose I'm wondering how much of this specimen looks fabricated, and if it would even be possible to attempt an air abrasive or acid prep for this guy? How rare is it to fabricate or even partially restore a keichousaurus that's still mostly covered in shale?

Just ordred a kind of "cheap" and not so well prepped and maybe enhanced keichousaurus. Would be nice to get some opinions about the condition of this fossil. I know I should ask before buying but the financial damage isnt that bad and I`m quite cuurious about this fossil. Will be pretty interesting to compare it with my other keichosaurus, which was my first ever fossile and a few times more expensive beeing from triassica.

Is this genuine? Any repairs? It is so perfect that I’m not sure if it’s genuine.

Exclusive: 600-million-year old blobs are earliest animals ever found Fossils in China suggest that that some of the first animals in existence may have been carnivorous comb jellies similar to some species that still exist today.

"Segnosaur" Egg
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good morning to all my friends of my beloved TFF! I usually give my advice, I usually try to help everyone here with fossil eggs. But this time I can not help myself with this egg maybe Spheroolithidae - "Segnosaur" Egg... I'm blinded by the smoke curtain emanated from the flames of the fire called: "I want, I wish it to be real"! So as it is for me, I am afraid of being influenced by myself. So I ask the help of all, please, you take the sales out of my eyes and that you help me to make a good judgment. I thank you all! The seller is a person I trust and I've done a lot of business with him. And the price, if I may say, $ 120.00, and if it's even real, I believe it's a fair price. All the help is extremely welcome, but: Please, I also invoke the help of my dear friends: @Crazyhen @CBchiefski @HamptonsDoc @-Andy- @steelhead9

I've been looking at this Hadrosaur egg from the Kaoguo formation in China, and while it seems alright to me I don't have any experience with dino eggs. What do you guys think?

Just curious. I keep seeing these hand mined boney crab fossils from the green river formation from Chinese sellers on an auction site. I have also seen them listed as from Madagascar. They don't look like green river fossils. Just wondering if they are real and where they actually come from.

Hi Forum Got a Chance to buy an Egg for a quite a reasonable Price. The Seller told me he bought the egg years ago from China and bought a whole nest with 12 eggs then. Would be great to know more about it, if its possible withe the attached Images. Does anybody has experience with prepping an egg like this? Would you recommend this for a beginner? Thanks

I got this from the usual place but it came with very little info (the page might have had the info but I failed to write it down and now I can't find anything on it... I sense that it will be another one of those hours-long sleuthing sessions, so I thought it's easier to ask here ) All I know is, Tsinania sp, China. I gather it's Upper Cambrian. No idea of the formation or specific location within China. Very soft powdery matrix! I can try some better pics if required.

A new paper you may find interesting: Ryoko Matsumoto, Liping , Yuan Wang & Susan E. Evans (2019). The first record of a nearly complete choristodere (Reptilia: Diapsida) from the Upper Jurassic of Hebei Province, People's Republic of China. Journal of Systematic Palaeontology (advance online publication) doi:Â https://doi.org/10.1080/14772019.2018.1494220 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14772019.2018.1494220 Coeruleodraco is significant because it is the most complete Jurassic choristodere, considering that the exact relationships of Choristodera to other diapsids have remained contentious to this day given the dearth of early choristoderes. I know that the choristodere placement of Pachystropheus by Storrs and Gower (1993) has been questioned in recent papers due to the lack of skull remains, which preserve some diagnostic choristodere characters, and Lazarussuchus was considered the most primitive choristodere, a late-surviving basal one, until new material by Matsumoto et al. (2013) showed it to be more advanced than Cteniogenys.

This question is directed at those of us who do buy fossils. Would you buy fossils from China? Legally, it seems questionable. They are highly available, which makes me wonder what is going on.

Rhinoceros Tooth Fossil?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! Good afternoon for all my big family here in TFF ! I'm thinking of buying this Woolly Rhinoceros Tooth Fossil. But please, I would like to ask some questions before my purchase: 01) Can this Woolly Rhinoceros Tooth Fossil be a real fossil or is it a modern with mud and cement? 02) Anyone know what species of Woolly Rhinoceros exactly belongs this Tooth? 03) According to the seller (Yes, the seller is Chinese), this Tooth was discovered in Heilongjiang Province, China (20000 years - Pleistocene)... Does anyone know if this locality is correct, or is it another Mongolian tooth disguised as Chinese? I thank you for all the help I can get. @Crazyhen

I haven't bought this yet. I wanted to see if anyone thought it was a lost cause or has potential. All I know is that it is from China. If appears that it may be able to be cleaned up a bit, kind of like the green river fish...not that I have prepped any of those either.

I am not aware of any other non-fish vertebrate fossil that is easily available fully articulated (correct me if I am wrong!) Why? What is so special about the Keichousaurus from China? Articulated reptiles seem to extremely rare, and yet there appears to be a enormous exception for the Keichousaurus!

Hello, recently I have been quite inactive on the forums, it’s just that I haven’t quite had time and I was having some family affairs. But I’d like to share some photos of some fossils I recently acquired that were found in China. First off I’d like to start off with a Pterosaur tooth from Liaoning which I got, it is 1 and a half of a cm in length, a really cool specimen and something I don’t see too often.
