Hello, another topic about Keichousaurus. Sorry for not being super original. What do you think about this one ? I read a lot of topics here. The bones seem messy (which appears to be a good sign) I don’t see painting contrast as with other examples ... but what do you think ?

 

it is quite expansive tbh...

Genuine but very badly acid prepped.  While the "messy bones" may mean genuine ones, they are not good specimens.  Compare a perfect one and one with a bit "messy" bone below.

I found this one on online. I won't link the page. My Girl thinks it might be fake because the same image is used on other sites but I wanted to come to you guys first.

If multiple sites claim they have the exact same item thats a big red flag
