Hello, I just bought a nice Keich at Tucson for a good deal, but I am curious, how much is composited or restored? If it is completely fake I will be taking it back as I have the contact information of the dealer. I know surely part of it is painted, which I don't mind for display purposes and I was happy with the price, but I am hoping at least the majority is real. I put an alcohol wipe over part of it and some paint came off on the left arm beside the white stripe, but throughout the center there was no paint. They told me there were a few repairs, but I am hoping that is all that it i

Keichosaur Fossil - Real?
Kribensis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I brought this Keichosaur around 2006 at a fossil and mineral show. I also just found this website this week. I never had any reason to think it was fake but since I have found this website, thought I should get some opinions. It’s a small example at only 3 4/5” x 3 1/5”. Appreciate the help.- 2 replies

Not an obvious fake, bones appear 3d although the lines one either side of the abdomen look painted to me. Would love a little input from others before I buy. Seller's has another keich with bones slightly laterally displaced at a crack (which is something that would happen with real fossils but probably wouldn't be done with a fabrication).

Keichousaurus and "Dyrosaurus" skull.
ConnorR posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
First up, I found several Keichousaurus fossils being sold. Amongst them all, I think this is the nicest one. Is it good or bad quality, and what would you pay for it? Second up is what appears to be a crocodylomorph skull from Morocco. The seller claims that it's a Dyrosaurus, but it's clearly not that. It looks nothing like Dyrosaurus, and it would be way too old. I know you can't say for certain just from photos, but how likely is it to be genuine? If it is, what genus do you think it belongs too? -

Our Favourite...Keichosaur!
FossilDudeCO posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Alright I know, I should know better. But the price was right and I was having a good week so I needed something to shatter my hopes and dreams. That out of the way. Listed as a "US acid - prepped specimen" Self explanatory. Back Right foot Tippy Tip of the tail Right ribs My biggest question is the specks of material between the ribs. Is this common on real Keichosaurs? To me on the overall picture they appear to be the ends of the ribs- 25 replies
