HADROSAUR Egg (following guide and it looks real)
JJ Lavoie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
So I was practicing looking for authentic Hadrosaur eggs after reading the how to spot a fake hadrosaur egg. Comparing it to real ones I’m thinking this is real. Am I correct in thinking this? If not I’d love to know what screams fake. What I see: Color seems right, pebbly texture on the shell, blemishes that don’t look painted, and cracks on the egg that are not shallow or drawn. Don’t look like the hollow fake ones that tend to hide most of the egg in matrix and look hatched or perfect.

Is my trilobite real?
Muffinsaurus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
A weekend trip lead to my wife asking me to pick out a trilobite fossil as a gift. I looked as close as I could in the somewhat dimly lit building and found one I liked and was fairly sure it was real at the time. Even the tag started it was authentic. While doing research about metacanthina issoumourensis I noticed online prices and the price she paid for it were vastly different. Red flags went off and I started looking the item over closely. I know in my heart of hearts it has to be a fake. However I'm still a novice at best and I could very well be wrong. I'm hoping I'm wrong. So I'm turning to you all with vastly more knowledge than myself for the truth. Thank you in advance.

I saw this suchomimus tooth tooth for sale on online. Does anybody have any thoughts on it? Is it real or not and is it worth the price or buying? Sorry, I am just not that good at recognizing fake or real fossils. I have attached images below.
