Huntonia Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hmm looks fishy to me but I'm not very good at telling with these. @Crazyhen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelivingdead531 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Considering it doesn’t have any sort of shoulder or pelvic bones, I’m going with fake. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole piece is very fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyquest Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 And a real one will cost a pretty penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhen Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It is very fake. Guess it's made of resin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
