  1. I'm looking at purchasing another Keichousaurus for preparation, and wondering what the experts' opinions are on which of these two would be easier to prep for a relative beginner like me. The first one looks entirely covered in shale, and the second seems to be a little more exposed. I have my Paasche air eraser that I was planning on using, although if someone recommends an acetic acid prep over the air abrasive for these specimens for one reason or another, I would love to hear suggestions. If the second one is more likely to be incomplete/damaged than the one under rock, I would prefer to stay away from that. But that being said, if it would truly be easier to work with the one that is already partially exposed, I am all for that!
  2. Hello. I see this photo and dont understand - this is poor quality or not prepared Keichousaurus. I did not get answer seller
  3. I got a soft slab of very nice Keichousaurus a a year ago. I keep it in a drawer at home, perhaps it’s too humid, I found that it’s broken into several pieces. Could anyone advise me how I could keep the soft slab without breaking? Shall I apply a layer of protective solution on the slab?
  4. Just ordred a kind of "cheap" and not so well prepped and maybe enhanced keichousaurus. Would be nice to get some opinions about the condition of this fossil. I know I should ask before buying but the financial damage isnt that bad and I`m quite cuurious about this fossil. Will be pretty interesting to compare it with my other keichosaurus, which was my first ever fossile and a few times more expensive beeing from triassica.
  5. Hello. Matured before buying his first reptile. Looked at the sellers - all from China. Attracts affordability, and not the best quality still suggests that I will get a real fossil. One seller has two reptiles of about the same quality. Forum opinion are they real? The second is how is the delivery from China - Hong Kong?
  6. Hi, What do you think about this "KEICHOUSAURUS" ? The pictures of the seller are not amazing.... The pictures are not shoot by me but by the seller Thank you for help me you are the best ! sorry for my bad english i'm french
  7. Hi all, I've been searching the internet pretty thoroughly the last few weeks, checking everywhere multiple times a day to find a low-quality keichousaurus to practice prepping on, (knowing that 95% of specimens are fabricated or heavily restored) and I think I may have found one. The price is so reasonable that I really don't care whether or not it's partially fake or restored, as it will make a decent display or even a gift if it turns out to be 100% fabricated. So I suppose I'm wondering how much of this specimen looks fabricated, and if it would even be possible to attempt an air abrasive or acid prep for this guy? How rare is it to fabricate or even partially restore a keichousaurus that's still mostly covered in shale?

    KEICHOUSAURUS Fossil real or fake ?

    Hi, Happy to join your amazing community ! I have little question for you. What do you think about this "KEICHOUSAURUS" ?

  9. Hello ! I'm new in the world of Dinosaur fossil, and would like to know if this this NOTHOSAURUS Fossile KEICHOUSAURUS Dinosaur real ? Please find some picture hereafter ! Thanks in advance for your help, Regards
  10. This Keichousaurus looks different than most; am thinking of buying it. What do you all think about it? Anything fake looking about it?

    Keichousaurus

    Hello I am letting go my Keichousaurus fossil for trade, size it's at 9 inch and looking for dinosaur fossils or nice Megalodon tooth for it.
  12. Here are another couple of keichousaurus that I'm thinking of getting. Just wanted to know your opinions. Are they Authentic, enhanced in any way, or reconstructed. I apologize in advance for the pictures, it is all the seller sent me. Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome
  13. Greetings all! I have found another Keichousaurus that looks very interesting. I do have some concerns about it, mostly the head looks almost drawn on (could just be me). Let me know what you all think!
  14. Greetings all! im tempted to pull the trigger on this keichousaurus but I am hesitant due to being inexperienced with them. I see some white specks on the bone and I haven’t seen that before so it popped up some red flags however, I am not experienced with them nor do I know enough to confidently say real or fake. On the back of the matrix it has another smaller keichousaurus. Please let me know what you all think!
  15. slate : 20.5 x 12.5 x 1.0( size in cm ) fossil: 16.0 cm x 3.0cm am looking at purchasing this item my questions are is it real? from pics its kinda hard to tell... i know iknow buy at own risk but I really value you guys observations.
  16. Hi Everyone, I'm guessing the answer to this would be yes so apologies for my naivety and thank you for your patience here. My husband has always been into paelentology, loves his geology and fossils and he has a birthday coming up. I wanted to get him something really lovely because not only is he a lovely hubby on a daily basis but he's been especially so over the last few months, looking after my parents a lot when my Dad got seriously ill late last year. I decided I wanted to get him a really lovely fossil plaque and so I went looking and found a Keichousaurus from a UK seller. Stupidly, having looked around a lot at internet fossil sites I still ended up on ebay because the sites either didn't have anything suitable or did have something amazing but that was out of my budget (which was reasonable at a few hundred but obviously not enough to get him something bigger). The seller looks reputable enough. He has 100% positive feedback (but clearly doesn't really sell fossils - there were a couple of reviews from happy shoppers on there who had purchased a couple of fossils from him) answers all queries very promptly, has promised that should I be less than 100% happy with the fossil he will give me a full refund, states that he purchased this fossil from a reputable UK seller because he is aware of issues with Keichousaurus fossils, etc. However, it wasn't until afterwards I decided to read up a little bit more about Keichousaurus' that I discovered about the issues exporting fossils from China and that in addition these are prime targets for fake fossils. Seriously, there is nothing that anyone can say at this point that is going to make me feel any more stupid than I already do and I've learnt a valuable lesson from it. The problem is that as this isn't something I've ever purchased before I genuinely didn't realise that people would or could make convincing fakes (although obviously I'm a bit better educated now)! In terms of re-sale I'm sure my husband would never sell it but thats not the point - I wanted to give him something really special and unique to thank him for everything he does on a daily basis and I'd be heartbroken if it wasn't genuine. The fossil is getting shipped this week and like I said the seller does seem a genuinely nice guy, who has been with ebay for over a decade and I don't think he would deliberately attempt to fleece me. I do believe him when he says he would refund me if I wasn't happy so now I'm wondering if there is any way I can check the fossil is genuine when it arrives and could really do with some help. I'm sorry to ask - I'm guessing I am far from alone in this topic but any help that could be offered would be very gratefully received. I have a photo of the fossil below if this helps and have more if needed: Many thanks for any help you can give!

    Keichousaurus Fossil 1.jpg

    From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7

    Keichousaurus Fossil Guizhou Xingyi China Middle Triassic (~210 million years ago) Keichousaurus is a genus of marine reptile in the pachypleurosaur family which went extinct at the close of the Triassic in the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. The name derives from Kweichow (now Guizhou Province) in China where the first fossil specimen was discovered in 1957. They are among the most common sauropterygian fossils recovered and are often found as nearly complete, articulated skeletons, making them popular among collectors. Keichousaurus, and the pachypleurosaur family broadly, are sometimes classified within Nothosauroidea, but are otherwise listed as a separate, more primitive lineage within Sauropterygia. Keichousaurus, like all sauropterygians, was highly adapted to the aquatic environment. Individuals of this genus ranged up to 2.7 m in length, and had both long necks and long tails, with elongated, five-toed feet. The pointed head and sharp teeth in this genus also indicate that they were fish-eaters. Some recovered specimens feature an especially developed ulna suggesting they may have spent some time on land or in marshes. In addition fossil evidence suggest also a pair of fossilized pregnant marine reptiles called Keichousaurus hui, show they had a mobile pelvis to give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Superorder: †Sauropterygia Order: †Nothosauroidea Family: †Keichousauridae Genus: †Keichousaurus
