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 gastrolite, i Just want to know if there is any sign It is not a gastrolite. Thanks everyone in advance. -

Is this Megalodon tooth real?
Peter4646 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone. I am new to collecting fossils and have recently acquired my first 3 to start my collection. I have always been extreamly fascinated and intrigued by dinosaur bones and discoveries found all over the world and am really excited to have finally purchased my first few. Can anyone possibly give some feedback on this megalodon tooth i have and let me know if it shows any signs of being fake? My grandpa has had this one since he was a kid and decided to give it to me to add to my collection... he is unsure if it is real. Any feedback would be appreciated. -

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.

Is This Claudiosaurus Skeleton Real?
ColeFossilFinder posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
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! -
