Hi guys, coming to you again as I’m still new at buying to add to my collection and came across what appears to be a good egg! I’m a fan of it and it’s fairly cheap, just under 4” but the owner admittedly got this in an estate so doesn’t know anything about it, would you recommend adding it to a little collection? And any ideas what group it may come from if it is genuine?

Newbie looking for advice please!
Glen93 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, I’ve just been saved from a fake spino claw thanks to this site 🙏🏼 however I was wondering if teeth which have the enamel on and aerated edges are possible to fake? I actually believe the seller has bought from Morocco and been scammed himself with the claw but perhaps not the tooth?- 7 replies

Got an ammonite as a present
Emin_kn posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone This is my first post on this forum (and the first one on this type of forums in general :)) and I am here to ask for your advice. I recently received a present from a group of friends - a beautiful (for a total amateur like myself) ammonite. I am only not entirely sure if it is real or not, and therefore would very much appreciate your opinions in this regard. The ammonite's origin is said to be in Madagascar, but it was "processed" in Italy and sold by an Italian fossil gallery. I am attaching some pics and of course I can add more if necessary. There are some qualities of this specimen that create questions regarding its authenticity, but like I said - I am a total noob, so I might be wrong about my suspicions Thanks to everyone in advance, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.- 15 replies

Hell Creek Theropods help wanted
Mesozoic Mike posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Howdy folks I'm still building my collection of Hell Creek fossils. This time I'm attempting to add three new specimens, that of Anzu Wyliei, Dakotaraptor, and a Troodon. I would be very grateful to get your opinion on the following fossils. The raptor teeth are labeled as "Dromeosaur Tooth" from Hell Creek I want to know if any of them look like Dakotaraptor teeth to you. As for the other two I simply want your opinion on whether or not they are genuine fossils. Thank you Anzu claw measures approx. 15/16″ long Raptor Teeth 1 2 3 Toodon measures approx. 1/8″ Thanks again- 2 replies
