Real or fake spinosaurus tooth? (New member)
Maxaurus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, my name is Max and I will begin collecting fossils. My passion for fossils and especially dinosaurs started when I was a child. I had lots of dinosaur toys, watched a lot of movies and documentations, studied facts about them and felt like a paleontologist with my excavation kits. My fascination for this prehistoric world has never been estinguished. That's why I decided to buy a tooth of a spinosaurus, which is one of my favorites. Before buying I have read some "real or fake"-topics here in the forum but I am still not sure if the tooth I'd like to buy is real, -
Hi everyone! I purchased this trilobite mortality plate a few months ago, but I haven't gotten the chance to get an ID yet. All the info I have on it is that it was collected near Tafraoute, Morocco and is from an Ordovician formation. (not sure which one) They are all about an inch and unfortunately most of the heads are not preserved great. I can provide bette r pictures if needed. Thanks!

So Many Fake Spinosaur Claws…How About This One?
Jurassic_Joe posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Okay so just in the short amount of time since I’ve signed up I’ve already learned a lot. Especially how many fabrications come out of Morocco. I had no idea until I did a little bit of digging. With that being said, what’s your opinions on this spinosaur claw? Real? Fake? I think it’s definitely made up from real bone as there is sheen coming off of it. But I can’t tell if it’s been carved or not. My eye has yet to be trained. Even if it’s real I’m still embarrassed that i -
Acadoparadoxides levisetti. authentic ?
Paleorunner posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I have seen online this Acadoparadoxides levisetti (Middle Cambrian), from the Wawrmast Formation, Alnif (Morocco). 14cm I was wondering how much restoration there is, or if it's all a cast. @Kane @piranha @aeon.rocks -
Hi everyone! I’m an amateur fossil collector who wants to collect and learn more about fossils and hope to learn more through this forum. Growing up I’ve always been fascinated by dinosaurs and sharks in particular. Today I went to a fossil show and found a vertebra that I found particularly fascinating. I bought it not knowing exactly what it was so I can chase the thrill of learning what it is and why. The man I had purchased it from had said it was from a spinosaurus. However, I’m skeptical because he was also marketing a tooth as an allosaurus tooth. He was honest man and had told

Good evening, these vertebrae are announced as spinosaurid, but it's posible to know just with the centrum preserved? At Kem Kem beds there are a lot of other reptiles so, it's posible to know with incomplete material like these?

Are these trilobites real
Georgemckenzie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hiya everyone some help with these would be great I suspect some restoration or maybe complete fabrications but any help would be great -
So I needed a lot of Spinosaur teeth and cheap since they were going to be a gift for kids 13-14 years old as a part of a school project. I contacted a known online shop which sells at a discount if you buy similar to seen instead of actual as seen. I think that I got a bit scammed. Maybe not, is just that these teeth looks a lot more (for me) as crocodile than Spinosaur. I know that there are a lot and the pics are not that good, but I really need just to know if some of them are in fact not Spinosaur since then I would cancel the gift. I can't just give fake information at

I’m looking for some information regarding this crinoid. It looks typical of the fossil crinoids I’ve seen from Morocco but I’d really appreciate a more learned perspective. A family member is thinking of acquiring this specimen. Only photo I have unfortunately. Thanks. @Tidgy's Dad

Hi members. I am a new member and developing a collection. Currently I am looking at a sample I am seeing online. They have incorrectly identified as Barrandeops. I have one and this definitely is not that species. The one I am displaying has no eyes. It comes on a matrix with other specimens, but this one picture is the best of the group. I would appreciate if someone can identify this Moroccan fossil. It is not smooth at all, or are the others.
