Too good to be true? possible Mosasaur fake
Ged posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone, I've been looking at this Mosasaur for sale online and it looks alright. the skull is a bit flattened and the detailing is not great however it also has a very good price. Does this look genuine to you all? The seller claims its 100% complete with 70% the same skeleton and the rest from various other finds all from Morocco. Thank you for all your input! photos here:- 17 replies

Hi, all. I'm looking to make my first decent fossil purchase. Until now, it's been nothing but rough trilobites and a large ammonite of questionable authenticity. It was cheap and I like how it looks so I'm not concerned. If it is real, they clearly overdid it on cleaning it up. Anyway, I found this oreodont skull online. Any thoughts on authenticity? My gut says real but with lots of restoration. In the first pic, the area below left from the eye socket looks way too smooth. Same with the area below the other eye socket. I figured this part was all fabricated. Also,

Some pics of my digging tool, it is galvanized steel that I welded. It took me the better part of a day to fabricate it. The 1/4 inch mesh is held on with copper wire ties. As you may be able to tell, it is somewhat heavy empty, much less full. I stack two yellow cat litter buckets in the river that forms a stable "table" I lay the long end flat on my table and paw thru it at my leisure. Alot easier than trying to manhandle it! The commercial ones I have seen are a joke!
