Can you guys help me figure out if this Sinosaurus is genuine? It is on the ...auction site... and the seller has 4 total, they all look different from each other. I don't know enough (or anything, really) about these to determine if they're genuine or not. The description calls it a Sinohodrosaurus from a local auction, and that it has some reconstruction. I messaged the seller asking where it was collected and what the reconstructions are. I'll update if they get back to me!

Hi all, I recently purchased this Keichousaurus specimen off an online seller (not online) and wondered if it was genuine or not... the seller stated that there had been repair to the matrix (don’t know if that shows up in the attached images:|) The seller also said there was no repairs, painting, carving etc and that the actual fossil was 100% genuine. Inspecting it with a loupe I could see the bone matter is raised from the matrix (slightly) and that there may be teeth present on the skull, but I don’t know if they’re painted on, as that is sometimes the case. Anyway I thought I’d come here to get it checked out as I’m not very experienced with fossils and fakes yet. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated Jai.

Hi everyone, I just purchased this megalodon from the fossil store I work at (they are very kind trustworthy people). It looks pretty real to me and microscope pictures look real too (I can include if needed) I wasn't skeptical until I saw how uniform the broken basal looked. I heard fakes are usually perfect but maybe this fake is broken so people would assume it wasn't a fake? Anyways, everything looks pretty nice and real and there is even a slightly visible white spot under the black on the front of the tooth (where maybe the real enamel underneath is showing.) Please, any feedback would be great.

Fake Chinese Dromaeosaur?
Hell Creek Dinosaurs posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is my first time posting on this site. I have the opportunity to purchase a potential Dromaeosaur type dinosaur fossil from the Yixian Formation of China. I know there are laws about exporting these types of fossils but the dealer assures me it has been in his possession for a long time. Also, I am willing to take the risk to own an incredible piece of history like this. However, I am not sure if the fossil is real. Based on what I have seen and read the fossil looks like the real deal but would like some other people's advice about it. It is described as a Dromaeosaur type dinosaur which is what the skeleton looks like but would like anyone else's opinion on whether it is authentic or not. Thanks for you help! -Ryan.thumb.jpg.8e171a120e841440a5919d13c6cbb124.jpg)

Sinosauropteryx for sale. Real or not?
Pterygotus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I saw this sinosauropteryx for sale but to me it looks very fake. I wanted to double check if there is a slight chance of it being real. My hopes are not high as it said there were 5 in stock.

Hi there everyone. I'm pretty new to this hobby and, as many of you, I'm interested in all kinds of old stuff. My question is probably very lame, but I found these specimens for sale in an online auction website and it doesn't seem genuine to me. Actually, I got the feeling it was "painted" or something like that. So, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Also, any tips on how to recognize real or false items via pictures would be extremely welcome. Thank you very much in advance, (Sorry for my bad English) Juliano
