Scylla Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Initially described as a fossil spider, this fossil ends up being a crayfish from China https://m.phys.org/news/2019-12-jackalope-ancient-spider-fossil-deemed.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 It's always nice to know that i'm not the only one to be fooled by fakery that is obvious to others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

RandyB Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I read a different article on this specimen and the amount of work they had to put in to figure out what they were really dealing with. I felt bad for the organization that made the initial purchase, but its crazy to think that "experts" get fooled too. This is one of the biggest reasons my collection mostly has pieces I collected myself. Link to post Share on other sites
