Crazyhen Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 From Liaoning if China, Pterodactyl and Caudipteryx, do they look genuine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Just these photos aren't nearly enough to judge properly. But I will say that some of the bones look kinda lumpy and I don't trust these. I think they are likely fake or at least enhanced. 3 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Photos are not adequate to properly evaluate. These type of specimens require hand examination to determine their authenticity otherwise its just a guess. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyhen Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 The teeth look very big relatively, are they that big in genuine specimens? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be a little suspicious of this like most skeletons from the area especially since you said Pterodactyl yet the genus pterodactyls is only know from Germany and France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRatKing Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 There is definitely enhancement work here. That isn’t a bad thing for a display piece, but I too am suspect of anything available online from that area. In particular the phalanges that go under the neck but over the opposite wing are suspect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterodactyls don't but this is not that genus those are found in Europe like dinosaur man indicated. The teeth in some Liaoning toothed pterosaurs can be large relative to the skull, see attached image. Again one cannot look at photos to positively determine the authenticity of these specimens. It requires hand examination under a loop or scope to be certain what has been done. Unfortunately there are too many excellent fake bird and dinosaur plates from that region not to take extraordinary measures to validate specimens 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
