I received yesterday, a pair of brachiopods of this species, from a Chinese seller, I asked for information, and this is the only thing they sent me. I would appreciate if any member could translate the text, or tag to another member who can translate it. Thanks. It is not necessary to translate everything... just name, age and origin.

From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Roughly 200g of small (≈1g) nodules and runs of amber from the West Open Pit Mine in Fushun, China; the mine was closed in 2019, but small pieces of amber are still recovered from coal found in the gangue piles; it is separated from the matrix by mechanical action and immersion in large vats of saltwater solution, and recovered with netting as it collects at the surface. This material is hard, takes a high polish, and is often shaped and drilled to make beads. Its chemical and spectrographic signatures indicate this amber is derived from a cupressaceous source.© Kaegen Lau

Can anyone read Chinese? Translation from dinosaur paper needed!
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I know this is a bit unusual but i am not sure who i can ask about this. I am currently researching dinosaur skin and am trying to read more about the described skin of the sauropod Mamenchisaurus youngi, which is discussed in a book published by Ouyang and He, 2002 "The First Mamenchisaurian Skeleton with Complete Skull: Mamenchisaurus youngi". I have a PDF copy of the book and the relevant section about the skin is pictured below, but the book is in Chinese and the PDF does not have copy-enabled text, so i can't copy/paste it into google translate. My only option is to find someone that can -
Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've started a topic on the forum; but over time, it has occurred to me how many of our forum members have spectacular specimens of Chinese trilobites. I hope to start this thread to showcase and celebrate the amazing trilobite fossils that come from China, contributed by no other than our very own. Chinese trilobites have been relatively underlaid in the trilobite collection world by the Moroccan material and Russian material. But with a jaw-dropping diversity and rarity of trilobites, China's trilobites may make up for the incr

ID on Chinese claw fossil
BonuFrailman posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey all, Looking for some help on this claw fossil from China. Unfortunately the seller does not know what formation it’s from, they just say Northeastern China. Claw is 1cm x 0.5cm x 0.3cm -
Hi! I received a gift from a private collection. It "seems" appendices of an Amplectobelua from ChengJiang. Do you think fake? Thanks.

Hello all, i was offered this keichousaurus and was wondering if someone has an idea if it’s authentic, judging from the photos only. The seller describes it as museum quality. And it’s supposed to be seven inches. These are the best photos I was able to get. It is supposedly from China from an old collection exported in the 80s. Best wishes

Keichousaurus, real or fake?
lexandc posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, Recently I saw a Keichousaurus fossil at the bidding site. It is suspiciously cheap, the seller does not describe the condition of the specimen very clearly, except claiming it to be "authentic." Needless to say, it is already raising a lot of red flags. I am no expert in fossils. I just started collecting 2 months ago. I read some articles on TFF and know that Keichousaurus is one of the most commmonly fabricated. However, from the picture provided by the seller, it looks to me, that it could be at least partially authentic. The tail looks fake, -
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

Turtles from China...again
sneakyelf posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Manchurochelys liaoxiensis from Liaoning province. These turtles have shown up in the forum before, some with the conclusion they are real, some not. Here is an incredible display of turtles with fish! However, I am highly skeptical despite coming from a reputable source. They seem to have a halo of color all the way around them. On extreme angles there are some parts where the shell is not attached to the matrix. Even the fish are "on" the matrix, not in it. It is not resin, as I have exposed many parts to a soldering iron. The crack on that back seems to run under, not through, the t -

Hipparion Jaw Fossil ... Is it real?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! Good evening for all my big family here in TFF ! I'm thinking of buying this fossil jaw from Hipparion. But please, I would like to ask some questions before my purchase: 01) Can this jaw fragment even be a real fossil or is it a modern horse jaw with mud and cement? 02) Is it an upper or lower jaw? 03) Anyone know what species of Hypariodon exactly belongs this jaw? 04) According to the seller (Yes, the seller is Chinese), this jaw was discovered in China ... Anyone know in which locality may have been discovered? Well, at least in my -
another Keichousaurus validation request..!
fossilsam posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi fossil friends! I made a purchase (my first ever) and waiting for my fossil's arrival from China. I have done some level of research and spent a little above average for what I hope is a correspondingly better quality fossil, but I'd appreciate the community's expert discerning eye to tell me if it of course seems authentic, and also if it's been hopefully better prepared than average. It does seem less "flat" than some of the other over prepped ones I have seen. I'm already assuming the digits/teeth will be painted on based on what I can see and I am unsure if imperfect are -

Is this Ichthyosaurus real?
indominus rex posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I recently found a guy who has offered to sell me this complete Ichthyosaurus and a Keichousaurus and I was wondering if you guys see any Red Flags. It’s from China but he didn’t specify. I don’t see anything too obvious but I wanted some of your guys’s thoughts. Regards, indominus rex -
Check out this unidentified species of Chinese ichthyosaurus. Yup, that's a real man standing behind it. Not photoshopped.
