Palaeocarpinus sp. plant with seeds?
Mochaccino posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I'm looking at the following three listings for plant fossils, specifically Palaeocarpinus sp. "reproductive structures" with seeds. These are all said to be Paleocene age from the Sentinel Butte formation, North Dakota, and are all 70-100mm wide slabs. 1. 2. 3. I'm specifically wondering 1. if any of these seem enhanced, as I've heard sometimes is done with white shoe polish, and 2. whether they all seem to be the same species? For some reason the first two listings seem a bit different from the third with not as clear contrast with the matrix. I'm unsure if that's because of possible enhancement, different species/locality, or the first two are just worse specimens? The third visually looks the best to me. Thanks!- 4 replies
