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 -

Hello, in the previous year I bought ammonite in my small town in Poland. Recently, I read that many ammonites from Morocco (and this one looks like he was from Morocco) is either slightly counterfeit or not true. I asked about identification on the Polish Facebook group, and they told me that it could be slightly carved, but the original ammonite. What do you think? Thank you in advance. Sorry for possible mistakes

Hi all I've had this tooth for a couple of years now, I think it was purchased off a website [price removed as per forum rules]. I've passed it off as real but I'm not sure if it actually is because of its cheap price. Are there any signs this is a fake? Pen shown for size

I just bought this megalodon tooth online, and I was wondering if someone could help me out and see if it’s real. My main concern are these notches/dents on the sides of the tooth (close to the root). It kind of makes it seem like it’s been molded. I’m not sure if this is natural or not.

Recently purchased this squid from the Tucson show. Looked a little off to me compared to the photos online but still bought it on a whim. Does it have any significant touch-ups or fakery? Thanks in advance!

So I am completely new to fossils and recently aquired a spinosaurs tooth. This was from a dealer I frequently buys rocks and minerals from but this was new items they had. Just wondering if I can confirm that it is real. It was inexpensive, and I have read they are very common now so it seemed about right. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Is this Megalodon Fossil Real
John Allison posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I picked up this Megalodon tooth fossil in a fossil shop in Orkney. I’ve had it for little under a year now and am only just now considering it’s authenticity. To me it seems legit, mostly due to the condition of the top and I cannot find any evident tells of casting. Anyone with more expertise able to give me an answer? See pictures attached. Thanks, John. Additional information: Price - £75 Size - 4.7” Weight - 5.4 Oz / 156g

Alston Gee posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I propose to buy this specimen if it is real. The seller told me that this specimen should belong to the pliosaur based on his experience, but I had a hard time to identify whether it is an ichthyosaur tooth or a pliosaur tooth. Is it an ichthyosaur tooth or a pliosaur tooth?

Is This Claudiosaurus Skeleton Real?
OneLastSift posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello I am trying to figure out if this specimen is real or if parts of it are composites. I do know that a protective coating has been put on to protect it, and that it had to be glued together once, but I am not sure if the digits on the hands are real or if the ribs are real. Thanks!
