Spino tooth natural or restored/ repaired
carch_23 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi TFF, Would like for your advice on this spino tooth I saw online. Ive been looking at some of your old threads on how spino teeth have famously been repaired or restored. Ive been, in a way, sort of been able to detect whether they have been fixed up. this one however is labelled 100% natural and messaged the seller, he also confirmed nothing has been done on the tooth and its condition is how it was found straight from the ground. Size is 4 inches so quite nice and wanted to double check as most of his listings of this size have been also labelled repaired or restored. price i- 5 replies

Hey hey, all fossil enthusiasts! I found these pictures of a fossil, and got curious about what kind of mammal it is. Have read about ancient camels recently and maybe thought that it is maybe a Poebrotherium skull? I don't have to much knowledge about these kinds of fossils. But would like to get some tips about how to identify these kinds of camel fossils. And maybe also how to tell the fake ones from the real ones. Since I like that kind of "investigation". //Kutembea

Spinosaurus tooth: real or fake?
Dankenki posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello to everyone, I bought this small spinosaurus tooth some days ago and I'm now wondering if it's real or not. The seller told me that it's non reconstructed but after seeing some stuff on this forum I'm not too sure to trust him. It comes from Kem Kem. Thanks to everyone!- 5 replies

Spinosaurus Tooth Real, Matrix or Glue
Mister Forelle posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I just got a spinosaurus tooth by my girlfriends dad for christmas and i have a few Questions: 1. Is it real or how much of it is fixed up with some kind of matrix? 2. What is that bright white part glimpsing between the sand? 3. Should i try to free the tooth from the dark/sandy part, to reveal his real beauty? 4. If yes, how? Thank you for your time!- 11 replies

Americaspis americana - Is it Real?
historianmichael posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I recently purchased this piece from a fossil dealer. It has a complete head shield of Americaspis americana and two partial head shields. Based on the information I could gather, my guess is that it was originally part of an old collection; however, since the piece had been with the dealer for a long time, they could not confirm how they acquired it. The information card I received with the fossil states that it is from the Wills Creek Formation in Perry County, Pennsylvania. I understand that to be the location of the now-closed site where you could find head shields of Americaspis americana- 17 replies

Another hadrosaur egg thread - fake?
Bethshine83 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi My son has recently been given this ‘fossil’ by a relative. They bought it about 20 years or so ago from an antique shop in Hong Kong. They were sold it as a hadrosaur egg but we have no idea really if it is or not. I’m inclined to think not simply because I’m always suspicious -

Is this a real gastrolite? Urgent!
ssimo posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, i have found this really nice specimen in a shop i have trust in. The seller managed to keep prices very low because he buy directly from Who finds the fossils and i already bought some really nice fossils from his shop. I don't have any gastrolite and this seems legit to me. The seller says it has been found in an area rich of dinosaur fossils and that the stone is very different from other rocks in that area as far as surface polishing. I know the only method to be almost sure a Stone is a gastrolite is to find it in proximity of dinosaur bones. So i know you can't confirm if this is a g- 5 replies

Hi. I'm looking to buy a Keichousaurus as a present for a collector. I've seen some other threads, but I'm no expert, and so I thought I'd ask here about the specimen I'm interested in. As a complete novice, this looks "too good to be true" to me, in particular for the price that it's offered. But other threads had similarly looking specimen that were considered genuine. Thanks for the help! A.
