Hi everyone! I've always had a love of paleontology and been fossil-hunting as a child (I've found mainly plant fossils, some incomplete trilobites, some unknown fragments of bone). The fossils I've found were usually incomplete and very weathered by the elements, but it was very rewarding knowing that I was holding a piece of real prehistoric history. I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles, but never had the pleasure and luck of finding one "in the wild". So of course I took the natural route of going online! I'm very very inexperienced in terms of actually purchasing fossils, and I know that there is always the possibility of fakes, even with the most common/plentiful fossil. Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I venture out into the unfamiliar world of fossil-purchasing. I'm interested in adding a Keich into my collection. I came across these 2 Keichousaurus listings, and I'm wondering if they are genuine or fake? And if they are real, if they are "good/decent" specimens in terms of prep, quality, and any other factors that I should be aware of?

Hello communtity, So I recently got a keichousaurus as a gift, and due to the fact that therer are a lot of fake specimen out there i was a bit worried if this one is real or not? How can I tell the difference between a real and a fake one? It is also very heavy for its size. What do I have to look out for?

Hello everyone! I found this keichousaurus listed on online. It appears quite legitimate. Could you please look at the photos provided and let me know whether you think it is a legitimate specimen? Many thanks.
