Araucaria Leaves from Russia?
Zapsalis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello Fossil Forum, I found a supposed Araucaria fossil leaf from the Russian Federation for a very low price on our favorite site, eBay. The dealer claims that the fossil is an unknown Araucaria species from the Upper Jurassic of Lena River Basin, Markha River, Siberia, Russia. Is this fossil legit and should I buy it?- 1 reply

HI, I am new to fossil collecting and I wanted a mammoth tooth for my office. Through the internet , I contacted a fellow in Russia who claimed to have dug mammoth fossils . He sent me some photos. I'm no expert , but this looks fresh to me . I asked are you sure this is a 10,000 year old fossil and not from a modern day elephant and possibly from poaching . His reply was that the permafrost is an excellent preservative and they had found animals with skin and hair . What is your opinion.
