Considering it doesn’t have any sort of shoulder or pelvic bones, I’m going with fake. :P

Oh :DOH:

Something struck me as wrong about those joints. Can't believe I didn't notice. Yeah the matrix around the keich looks lighter as well. I'm gon a go with fake on this one as well.

The matrix on the front looks as if it’s been painted with a wet wash. The whole piece is very fishy. :zzzzscratchchin:

I thought this looked familiar, I guess I have seen these on some of the popular auction sites. You can find all sorts of them listed at many fine establishments as both replicas and “real” and in many different poses.  Sometimes they actually have pelvic and shoulder bones, but often times not. Probably those that look at dinosaur fossils online often have seen these, that’s not my thing so it was unfamiliar to me. Very interesting. My wife thought it was neat looking and wants me to find one at Goodwill!!  :fingerscrossed:
