I once in awhile check out the auction sites just to see what is posted. I do buy things once in awhile but very rarely. Today I was checking out some fossil fishes from china. Lots of the common fish, Lycoptera davidi being posted. All looked really good! Too good! I used that magnifier thingy and took a closer look. To me it was painfully obvious that the fins were painted. Buyer beware!!! and good luck RB

Hello I'm a newbie fossil collector (and newly active member) who happens to several interesting fossils for a decent price from our favorite auctions sites 1st is are Knightia. The seller claims that they are not restored or enhanced 2nd set are 4 Spinosaurus teeth. The seller claims that cracks have been repaired, but no restoration or composition has been made (Pictures 2-9 of teeth in pairs) 3rd is a Lycoptera which the seller claims is not restored or enhanced 4th are plates of Elrathia Trilobites from Wheeler Formation 5th are Fossil Ferns from Llewellyn Formation 6th is a Hyracodon jaw fragment I would like to ask if the sellers' description of the items are accurate and/or if they are restored, enhanced or composites. Cheers! -
Hello, Could this little fish have been a bit painted or does it seem totally natural preserved? Thanks for the help!

Is this purchase correctly identified ? I sort of hope not.

Hi all, These two have been sitting on my desk for some time, as I kept on forgetting to ask this. Now I finally remembered. I once made a trade with a fossil-lover in Singapore, but unfortunately the fossils arrived broken, having not survived the trip. The two broken fossils I got were: a partial Lycoptera davidi, and a small jaw piece of a hyena. I didn't dare take out the fossils of the bag yet, as I was scared I would lose some of the broken off pieces and damage the fossils even more. Here they are: The damage on the Lycoptera isn't very severe; only a big block of matrix got loose (the fossil itself is still intact). But the damage on the hyena jaw is very bad: the big tooth split in two, and many other crumbs here and there. Here is what the jaw looked like before: I was wondering: is there a way to repair the fossils? As in stick them back into one nice piece? I can buy necessary material if it is cheap. Note that this would be my first fossil repair, and I have no experience whatsoever in the subject. Thanks in advance for your help, Max

Not really a recreation, sculpture, or artwork but this is my attempt at making a great display piece for my desk. This Lycoptera davidi from Liaoning, China is my only fish fossil and I wanted to frame it and put it under glass. Its more beautiful than the best painting I rekon! I've only put on a temporary label but will make a real nice one. Not sure how or with what yet. I've seen some really cool "murals" with many fish assembled in a collage. Anyone have any "fish fossil art"?

Is It Legal To Buy Or Own Fossil Fish Lycoptera From China?
AJ Plai posted a topic in Questions & Answers
From what I know, Chinese has banned export of fossils found in China ever since 2002. But I have heard of some people saying that Lycoptera is an exception since they find so much of it in China. Is this true? Thx
