Here is a small skull of a reptile, about 4cm in length, does it look like Macrocnemus fuyuanensis or is it a marine reptile? Note the very long and slender neck.

Phosphatized Tortoise Fossil
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is a tortoise fossil from Hezheng, China. Unlike the other white coloured tortoise fossils, it's black in colour. Is it painted or naturally black in colour due to phosphatization? -
Here is a skull of Saurichthys from Yunnan, China with its mouth wide open, you can see there is a small fish at its mouth, look like the Saurichthys was eating the small fish. The small fish, half embedded in matrix, looks like a coelacanth by its tail, any idea if it is a coelacanth or a Gymnoichthys inopinatus?

Manchurochelys manchoukuoensis fossil turtle
Blubby the blobfish posted a topic in Member Collections
Hi everyone! Its been a while since I posted. I was waiting for this new piece, arguably the most stunning and most certainly the rarest fossil in my collection. Here we have a Manchurochelys manchoukuoensis fossil from China, acquired from one of my good friends and fellow collectors here in the Netherlands. Now its extremely hard to certify the authenticity of a piece like this, however I can 100% say that all the bones are original. There has been some restoration done, these fossils never come out of the ground in one piece so it doesn't bother me. I tried to show you the minimal restoration on the last 2 photo's, its not noticeable with the naked eye, but I put it under the microscope to look at all the restored areas. I also looked at it under a good UV light to make sure it all matched up. I can confidently say that all the bones, and the entire turtle is authentic. I will have my geologist friend check it out one of these days to fully confirm authenticity, and the fact that restoration was done only where needed, and none of the bones are forged. Does anyone else here have one of these? Let me know!- 2 replies

Hi all. As per request on my last post about the dinosaur eggs. Here is my fossil skeleton inside its matrix from Jiangxi, China. Bought it cheap, no clue what it is or what it could be. I can clearly see a skull, and what appears to be a claw or a hand. Nothing to see on the other side, I assume the rest of the skeleton is inside the matrix. Any help wil be appreciated, but I have let alot of knowledgable people look at it and no one was able to give me anything clear.

Hi people! Thanks to all the nice people here I wanted to share the pictures of some of my fossils. I wanted to start with what is currently my proudest and most expensive piece, my 3 egg hadrosaur nest from China. These are not crazy rare, also not museum quality but it was my first show piece that I bought and have been enjoying it everyday. Owning a piece of history, a nest of a creature that lived millions of years ago still makes me happy when I think about it. The eggshell and color on these is super nice compared to most I see at auctions. Let me know what you all think.

Hello, I see these pieces being sold as apparent precambrian Ediacarans from Guizhou, China. My question is, how does one determine if these are even fossils and biological in origin as opposed to just some random smudge or geological oddity? Is anything known about these sorts of specimens? Thank you.

I've never seriously done paleoart before. I have been wanting to try my hand at it for years but passed on it for one reason or another. Recently I fell in love with looking at fossils of keichousaurus. I also love lizards. So I decided yesterday to just do it. So here are my results. If I messed up on the anatomy in any way, please don't hesitate to let me know.

As the title says, I have this partial skull being offered to me and was wondering if any or all of it looked faked? Those teeth set off my alarm a bit as they look awfully big for ictitherium, or am I incorrect in that assessment?

Here is a tail of a marine reptile from the Triassic period. It was found at Fuyuan, Yunnan Province of China, at the same strata with Keichosaurus. Does it look like the tail of Yungguisaurus liae or Placodus inexpectatus? It is 56cm in length.

Hi, Does anyone know what these eggs are from? I haven't seen any like these. They are very small--2 inches. From XiXia, Nanyang City,Henan Province. Unfortunately, the condition is poor--with shell missing from one side. But they are quite unique and unusual. They are the first ones like this I have seen for sale. They seem too small to be Dendroolithus. They also appear to be too big for turtle. Edit: Also smaller than Spheroolithus eggs. An offshoot of Dendroolithus/spheroolithus, perhaps--a smaller species that which usually lays those types of eggs. I have seen a similar egg, but slightly bigger, also sold as Segnosaur--but I assume that may be a case of just slapping a probably species name rather than actual scientific basis. Any help would be great.

Hello, I have been offered a Chinese pterosaur tooth--from Yixian Formation, Liaoning, China. There are a lot of toothed pterosaurs from there, so I guess narrowing down an actual species will be difficult. But I wish to make sure that it looks pterosaur rather than being something else. Unfortunately the matrix was split and reglued, so it has a repair down the middle. It is 2cm long. Seller is in Taiwan, so export of the fossil is ok.
