How much of this real? (Brazilian Vinctifer)
JUAN EMMANUEL posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, in my city of Hamilton, Ontario, there is a shop just a walk away from my house that is selling Vinctifer comptoni specimens. One of the specimens being sold right now i will post pics now. How much of this fossil is tampered or repaired? Im asking as I am not familiar with the Cretaceous Santana formation fossils and I know these fish fossils are sought after.- 1 reply

On the latest installation of my eve' posts, we have the second episode of "appreciative announcements". I'm your host, IsaacTFM. *queue jaunty music* This is a happy post, in which I will share my thoughts, experiences, and feelings about this forum. If you're sensitive to - nah, I'm kidding, give it a read! Ah, TFF... A seemingly nerdy place, wherein we talk about... Fossils... I remember the time I found this forum, a year or so ago now. I didn't join, and only read some posts in Fossil ID, in the hopes of shedding some light on my own. It really did help, I can't even lie, I was pointed to a whole host of answers. And yet, I put off making an account. After being in this forum for a month now, I can very, very solidly say, that I regret not joining, and here's why. The Fossil Forum is the best place on the internet. I may have been mocked by my close friends and family after joining, being told that "I'm having all the fun", however, that didn't stop me from spending many hours a day here. My first impressions were a rather intelligent community, filled with lots of people willing to help one another. After posting in other things than F.ID, I've laughed, I've smiled, and I've forgotten the things going on in the outside world. The humour here is rather excellent, and the, perhaps, immaturity of the members (of which I am guilty! ), really fills me with sheer, utter happiness! It makes me feel like a kid again, reading, and learning about dinosaurs, in awe! I've fallen in love with this forum... Even though I may have had some interesting interactions with misspellings and moderative actions on the side of the staff (you know who you are! hahaha, I'm just joking, I love it here), I've had the best time. No-one here frets about political issues which divide and stir up other communities. We don't discriminate, we don't argue. I don't know how many of you have visited a big enough portion of the internet, but, for something being founded on the ideals of sharing and support, there is an INCREDIBLE amount of hate, anger, violence, and just downright horrible things out there. For example, malware. Do we have any of that? No! This is seriously seriously impressive, and, although a lot of it can be attributed to the staff (we love you!), it's also us, the member's responsibility. We exercise care for each other, we take into account each other's feelings. We do what no place in the internet does. We stay positive. We console members going through a tough time, we encourage newbies, we help with identification, we share excitement in each other's finds, et cetera. We love each other. Full stop. This is a great place! I've honestly already had very fun interactions here, and, to be honest, I'd regard you all as my internet friends! This place is awesome, and it's made me so happy recently, it's brought so much sunshine into my life, so to speak. Love you all! (even if you misspell my name or accidentally mute me) I encourage you all to share your favourite experiences with this forum in the replies! Let's show the community how much we appreciate each other, and give us all some happiness in these trying times.

Now that I have gained a little knowledge about paleontology, I am able to add some insight into questions forum members have. In providing information, I usually try to find images to support what I say. My question to you is what is the proper protocol for "stealing" a picture or text when found surfing for info on the internet? When do you recognize the contributor? I try to keep posts from becoming long winded and cut info to the bare minimum, but I feel I may be breaching proper protocol. HELP!!!
