A person is selling this fossil as a faithful reproduction by framed casting (11 inches x 16 inches) purchased in Shanghai. I have the impression that it could be real, is this possible?

Real and bad preserved, or carved and paint Keichousaurus ?
Brevicolis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, i saw this Keichousaurus from Gouizhou, China, on auction today and think theres something wrong about it. The bones look like If they're carved from one piece, the toes look paint. But im not sure If its a complete fake. Because many of the structures seem to be real, but badly preserved. Also, i dont know how common it was in the 1980/90's to fake Keichous. Thats when it was found. So what do you think about it, is it a real and bad preserved one, a 50/50, or a complete fake ? Thanks for any advise ! (The seller didnt made that many close up pictures from different angles, sadly)

There's tons of images of all kind of Keichousaurus specimens online, but I couldn't find a single image/video of where do they find them or how are they extracted. Does anybody know where this kind of material can be found? Disclaimer: It is common knowledge that most (?) Keichousaurus are found in China, the question doesn't go in that direction.

Is my grandparent's keichousaurus authentic?
Rh_4m posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
My grandma says she must've gotten them somewhere around 40 years ago, and though she dpesnt remember where exactly she got it, she did say that she's travelled all over Asia,including China, througout her life (in fact, she even lived there in the 90s). Also, I was curious if there was any ways to preserve the fossil; it's kinda been kept out in the open it's whole life and I was wondering if there was any ways it could be displayed, like idk framed, in such a way that it gets protected from future damages? Thanks in advance -
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.

Keichousaurus - real or fake?
RodX posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I'm thinking about buying this Keichsosaurus, found in China, at Taiwan since 1980. Since there are so many fakes of the Keichsosaurs out there: is it real or a colorful fake? Size: 23 x 12 cm Size Keichosaurus: about 29 cm long, male

Is this specimen real? Doesn't seem like it's been grinded down too much?

Keichousaurus ... Real ? Enhanced?
Wayne Lewis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Curious to read opinions on this. Looks interesting, want to think it is authentic, from the underside (?) though the neck vertebrae seem twisted and the head seems off, perhaps shaped and painted.

Keichousaurus skin imprint
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This specimen of Keichousaurus is manually prepped. Note that there are some seemingly "remains" of skin at the stomach and pelvic region. Any idea if that could really be imprint of skin remains?

A well prepped keich? Must be fake.
JBkansas posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I haven't seen keichousaurus with hollows in the matrix like in this specimen (but they don't look like the bubble defects from a replica mold). I'm guessing it's real but I've never seen one without all of the prep damage that is typically present..thumb.jpg.f0dc8fbde9aa1f2428c7977aea627cf5.jpg)

Real keichousaurus? Quality of preparation? Complete?
mr.rod posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello all, I'm interested in these keichousaurus brothers. The seller has reserved the matrix for me, and I would love to understand some things before I buy. Better first ask to avoid bad surprises later ;-) Hope some of the experts here can support me. My questions are Is it an original/authentic fossil and not a replica? Guess it is original ;-) The quality of preparation seems to be below average? What is this untypical light-grey cloud around the right brother? Cheap prep? It looks a bit flat to me, not really 3d-look bones, is this from erosion? Is it complete or can you see any enhancement, paint or retouch been made? Thanks a lot everyone in advance. mr.rod

Authenticating quartz (?) Keichousaurus?
Roses posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! First, does anyone know what the mineral composition of most keich fossils is? The common darkly colored ones? Or does it vary a great deal? I have some idea what to look for in the “normal” dark keich fossils, but this one appears to be composed of mostly quartz…? Or is it something else? This seems challenging to fake and the photos look convincing to me, but I have no experience in comparing these white keich specimens. Is this likely to be real?

Hello! I am brand new to fossils but fell for the Keichousaurus. After combing through old Fossil Forum posts on different prep methods, I’ve been on the hunt for a nicely prepared specimen. I found this one from a friendly, reputable seller and the prep looks great compared to everything else I can find online. However I’m looking for a dorsal specimen ideally, and this one is not exactly cheap. How hard will it be to match this prep quality in a dorsal specimen? Are we talking years of looking for a similarly nice piece or do they pop up fairly regularly?

Keichou - a technical question
Ezio Bonsignore posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This question should probably go on the general discussion, but I post it here on the chance that the answer might point at some form of fakety. I am intrigued by this K. being offered fo sale. How was it prepared? To my untrained eye, there seem to be no signs of tools. Judging by the areas surrounding the fossile, it would appear that some kind of acid (?) has been used, thar corroded the stone matrix away while leaving the bones intact (?!?) Is something like that possibile?

Is it a real Keichousaurus?
Ita97 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications

Keichousaurus fossil Real or Fake
Chris Kimo posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I'm looking at purchasing this little fellow and I basically wanted some third party views on the legitimacy of the fossil. Here's my thoughts. The layout of the fossil looks different to fakes that I've seen as it is hunched over on itself in quite a natural death pose meaning the fossilised bone is stacked a little on parts. I believe this would be difficult to fake and also what's the point making your work harder when producing fakes. Also the small size and amount of detail included makes me think its real. The other detail that makes me belive it could be authentic is that the tiny tail vertebrae have separated apart towards the tip of the tail like what would occur naturally. Any shared knowledge on this subject would be greatly appreciated and also other people's views! Thank you for your time!

This hatchling was found at Fuyuan of Yunnan Province, China. It looks like Keichousaurus but it has a distinctly rounder skull, longer neck and a shorter tail. Could it be the hatchling of another species like Dianopachysaurus dingi? I also attach a typical Keichousaurus hatchling for easy comparison.
