  1. Two years ago there was a discussion (started on January 27, 2022) on what looked like a fine Asialepidotus specimen, but which eventually turned out to be a jaw-dropping replica, series-produced by 3D printing based on a real museum item. At that time, the consensus here was that there was absolutely no way to identify the forgery based on photos alone (no matter how detailed), and indeed some Members resisted accepting the thruth until the forger himself was quoted explaining how it was made. Are things still at that point - I mean, it is impossible to discover a 3D print based on photos alone - or have we become cleverer? In pratical terms, what do you think of this one? It is being offered out of Taiwan, being described as "natural status".
  2. I am looking for a nice Ungual claw. Hadrosaur. So this one looked nice in the first place. Says to be a PES claw from an Edmontosaurus. 2 11/16 x 2 3/4 in size. Hell Creek Fm., Garfield county Montana USA Is everything natural with this one or should i be searching for a better one?
  3. Came across this supposedly original carcharodontosaur tooth. Claims it is original and I really have my doubts. Only have one picture though. This is not a tooth I bought or anything. Just came across, nothing more
  4. Hello, Once again I am looking for your help! The seller of this spino tooth says that it has some glued fractures (this is obvioulsy seen) and some filled fractures. Do you think only some small part of this is restored or do you see any part that may indicate that the restoration is bigger than just some filled fractures?
  5. Is this a T-Rex tooth? The tip was slightly restored but i can't see what area was restored. Hell Creek Formation. Carter County, Montana.
  6. 3'5 inch Carcharodontosaurus S. Tooth from the regular KemKem beds. However, I do have some suspicions of the root. Can anybody help
  7. I've recently purchased a Spinosaurus tooth, but I have some concerns about it being heavily restored. It doesn't seem fake to my non-expert eyes, but it also looks a little "too perfect" to be completely genuine. I'm strongly concerned about the color and some kind of coating or paint that seems to have been put on the whole surface. I'd be happy to have a more expert opinion from you guys!!
  8. Hello, new member here. I just purchased this heteromorph ammonite from what's considered a reputable website but I've started to get concerned on the authenticity of this specimen due to the heterogeneous coloration (some places dark, some places light). Is there a chance there's some fake pieces as a composite or perhaps heavy restoration? Also it was listed as eubostrychoceras indopacificum, but it looks different from photos of other such specimens. It seems more like a Nostoceras malagasyense, but perhaps I'm just mistaken?
  9. Hi guys, I’m making this post because I have a tooth that I’m thinking of purchasing but I can’t tell how much is restored. The seller says it’s restored but is sort of vague on where. I’m not the best at spotting resto so I figured maybe someone could lend a hand on this one. Thanks!

    Thysanopeltis ID

    I bought this large semi disarticulated thysanopeltis trilobite on a bit of a whim. It arrived today and overall I'm quite pleased. I'm wondering if anyone can help point me to a species or can comment on the level of restoration. I believe the majority of the spines on (its) right hand side of the pydium are carved and painted. There's probably more restoration elsewhere (I expected as much when I bought it) but it's hard to tell. Any other opinions would be appreciated. Unfortunately I don't have any locality information, and as it was labeled as a cornuproetus I doubt the seller knows too much about it either.
  11. Hi all, I've been searching the internet pretty thoroughly the last few weeks, checking everywhere multiple times a day to find a low-quality keichousaurus to practice prepping on, (knowing that 95% of specimens are fabricated or heavily restored) and I think I may have found one. The price is so reasonable that I really don't care whether or not it's partially fake or restored, as it will make a decent display or even a gift if it turns out to be 100% fabricated. So I suppose I'm wondering how much of this specimen looks fabricated, and if it would even be possible to attempt an air abrasive or acid prep for this guy? How rare is it to fabricate or even partially restore a keichousaurus that's still mostly covered in shale?
  12. Here I have 3 teeth from Moracco. One is 100% Natural. One has had restoration to the root. The 3rd broke, probably during extraction, and was glued back together. The first tooth is an Otodus, I bought back in the early to mid 2000's at a fossil and mineral show. One dealer had a bunch of these teeth in a box. At the time I had just gotten into collecting sharkteeth and didn't have much experience with restorations. I suspected that there may have been some work done, but at $5 a piece I figured it was not a big deal. So I bought a few for myself and my kids. If you look at the root you can see it is two tone color. The grey portion is the real part of the root the tan/white potion is were they took matrix and glue to make a mortar which was used to fill in missing or imperfect areas. This past summer I was at my club's show, and picked up tooth #2. Again an Otodus from Moracco. But this is a Beautiful all natural tooth that I picked up for $10. Look at the difference in the roots of both teeth. The 3rd tooth is a Paleocarcharadon also from Moracco. This tooth broke through the root in two places, where the cusps meet the blade on both sides. The breaks look very clean and fit back in place pretty well. To the naked eye they simply look like cracks. But upon viewing under magnification you can see the use of glue and a tiny bit of matrix used the hide the breaks somewhat. I don't know if anyone will be able to see that from my pics but I wanted to at least show what I could. None of these teeth were expensive so really don't bother me. But these are things to look for when considering purchasing more pricey fossil teeth.
