Russian Pliosaur Tooth?
Alston Gee posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I propose to buy this specimen if it is real. The seller told me that this specimen should belong to the pliosaur based on his experience, but I had a hard time to identify whether it is an ichthyosaur tooth or a pliosaur tooth. Is it an ichthyosaur tooth or a pliosaur tooth? -

Hello I am trying to figure out if this specimen is real or if parts of it are composites. I do know that a protective coating has been put on to protect it, and that it had to be glued together once, but I am not sure if the digits on the hands are real or if the ribs are real. Thanks! -

Is this Trilobite real?
Constantine posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone im new here , really exited to find this forum for discussion and information about fossils. Now to my problem i bought this trilobite 28cm (''cambropallas telesto'' if im not mistaken) from a local store from what they said to me this was imported from UK, when i got a closer look seemed to me that most of the ridges of the trilobite are engraved man-made by some kind of clay. So my question is any part of it real? I would have posted more pics but the files are too big. Thanks in advance. -

Genuine Smilodon Canine?
Huntonia posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I found this upper canine from a Smilodon for sale online. The number of surface imperfections lead me to believe the tooth is authentic though it could be a particularly well done cast. The seller has a couple other Smilodon fossils both of which seem legitimate. However the fossil is coming from China and I hear falsified fossils are very common in China. I would greatly appreciate another opinion thanks. -

Trilobite- real or fake?
Science_Teacher_1996 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I am brand new at fossil collecting and am trying to get specimens for my science class (I’m a high school science teacher). I bought a few fossils pretty cheap not knowing how prevalent fakes are. I think some are fake, partially faked, or enhanced. I don’t want to misinform my students in what is real and what isn’t so I’d love some help! (Fakes aren’t the worst thing for me since we can discuss the use of models in class, I just need to know what is real or fake). Here is my first specimen: a trilobite of unknown origin (I havnt seen one like it online which is why I think it is fake). Thanks!- 9 replies
