Yet another Keichousaurus


Vertebrate

Recommended Posts

Hello Fossil Forum,

what do you think about this Keichousaurus? Seller says it's all original, no restoration. While it looks not quite as stunning as the critter in the thread below it's still much nicer than usual IMO and I like the  dark/bright contrast of the slab. Any issues or red flags?

Thanks!

Vertebrate

We need more close-ups of the head

 

For now, I say it is real though there might be a few painted bones here and there

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Real in my opinion. 
As stated, it does have some paint, ribs and hands/feet, and the tail looks ground down a good bit, but fairly decent example.

Here's the head.

 

The head looks okay

 

It's real (but very likely with slight paintwork) so go for it if you're comfortable with it

While I don't mind a simple repair like broken and glued, I'm not comfortable with paint whatsoever. Thanks for your expertise!
