OneLastSift Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 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!

Troodon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 All I can add is that the hand matches the one in the illustration from "The Pterosaur Heresies" . The ribs are 3D and the matrix looks natural. Hard to say if any repair or resto has been done no obvious sign of composite but!. Have to believe if it was composited it would include a skull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneLastSift Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 What About This One? The Head is the only thing that is supposed to be fake (It is made out of Slate), but the rest is told to be real with no restoration. Sorry for the small photo, you might have to zoom in.
