Stegosaurus Tail Plate Armor - Real?
Kribensis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is a much more recent acquisition that I picked up at an estate auction of a fossil collector that was identified as a Stegosaurus back plate. My own research has led me to conclude by the shape that if it is a Stegosaurus plate, it is back tail plate that would have been near the spikes. I have no concerns that the other fossils I picked up at the auction are genuine and were correctly identified. However given just the rarity of stegosaurus fossils, I think it’s probably not one and it was wishful thinking on the original collectors part. What do you think? For all I know it’s just a flat rock. I don’t claim to have any real expertise.- 5 replies
