This is normally not the type of thing I'd consider as it's not up the same alley of things I normally collect (dinosaur) but I came across it on a not so known site so I'm curious if it's real as I just don't have an eye for these. Color is relatively uniform which is throwing me off quite a bit as normally these are painted from what I've seen here.

I bought this Keichousaur fossil online recently, before discovering this forum and finding out that fake fossils are common, and Keichousaur are commonly faked or embellished. I did have concerns that this may have been fake, though I think I've managed to work that out myself now thanks to a handily available xray machine. Still, confirmation would be nice and I thought this may be of interest. It is claimed to have come from Fuyuan County, Pengjiang, Yunnan, China

Hello all! First, let me say I am a relatively new fossil collector and new to this forum. I am a biologist and typically study living things, so please don't throw me out! I recently purchased a Keichousaurus hui from another collector but when it arrived the specimen was damaged. It appears to have broken along 2 previously repaired cracks in the matrix. I would like to repair this specimen or perhaps more ideally, have it repaired by someone experienced. Can anyone point me toward a suitable resource for proper guidance, or an experienced collector or professional who can repair this specimen? Any assistance you can offer will be much appreciated!

Need tips for recognizing a fake keichousaurus at a fossil fair
ziggycardon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, next month I am going to Paleotime, a fossil fair in Belgium and I am hoping to find a Keichousaurus fossil. Now I know their are lots of fakes out there (although after doing some reading on this forum most of them I came to the understanding most of them aren’t entirely faked, just enhanced, painted and composites) And I am going to be honest, I don’t really care that much if the Keichou is a little bit enhanced of painted. But I hope to find a specimen that is at least 75 % or more authentic. So I was hoping if you guys could give me some tips as to what I should look for when I examine a specimen I hope to buy, cause since I will buy it at the fair, I won’t be able to post picture here during the process. I know that these are some of the thing I already have to look for to enhance the chance of getting an authentic one · Missing bones · Broken bones · Strange or akward poses · Imperfections (fake always try to be as beautiful and perfect as possible) · Calcite cracks running through the skeleton · Looking for detailing in the skull like teeth and obvious skull fragments · Looking for paint with a magnifying glass · Taking a picture and doing a negative to see paint mischief · Looking for 3D relief on the specimen These are the things I know of the look for, but does anyone else have some tips for me on how to recognize it’s a genuine of faked piece. I will also be taking my LED Mini microscope 60x for on the phone with me for closer examination. Thanks in advance!- 12 replies

Is This A Reputable Keichousaurus Hui Dealer In Hong Kong?
cfi posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello All, I want to buy my husband a nice gift for his birthday, and I think that he would really like a fossil. He used to collect them as a child, so Im sure he would really like one, but he is not a collector nor does he have any now. I have been looking a bit online, and i would like some kind of reptile/dinosaur. From what I can see the Keichousaurus hui fossils seem to be the one that "looks" most like a dinosaur (im sorry if i am using ridiculous terms!). I like the idea of having a whole item rather than a tooth, or a bone etc. I also like the idea of something we can frame/hang. So I have a few questions:- Would a Keichousaurus hui be a good option? Do you have any other suggestions? I have read here about fossils being illegal to take out of china, so im wondering as I live in Hong Kong, is it more likely they will be genuine here? I have found a store here, would you please have a look at the specimins on offer and tell me if you think they are genuine or not. Is there any particularly good ones I should buy? I have to say that the shop/people look genuine, it seems they exhibit at the science museum here and run courses, but I am a novice so I have no real idea. http://www.fossilshk.com/reptiles_amphibians2.html Many Thanks Tilly. -

Would Like A Second Opinion On This Keichousaurus
AJ Plai posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
The specimen is about 9-10 inches long - is this about the largest you could get with this specie? How good is the prep job of this particular piece? Also, I took a closer look at this specimen with a loupe and it seems to have a decent 3D texture, with no obvious ink work that I could detect, but I think it would be a good idea to upload the pics to let experienced fellow members here take a look at it and could give me a second opinion on this thing. Thx for the help
