A trio of Grallator prints from France

[FF7_Yuffie]

I have been offered these three prints, for a decent price each---I'd quite like to add a French Grallator to my collection, so if someone can have a look, that would be great.

 

All are Jurassic age, found in Sauclieres, France.

 

First two photos == A concave one, matrix is 16cm by 16 cm .   A concave one is my preferred choice.

 

Next two photos == A convex fossil,  slab is 14  x 18 cm.

 

Final photo = Another convex,  19 x 17cm matrix.

 

 

If someone can take a look at let me know what you think, that would be much appreciated.

The question I would have, What are they "painted" with? That is, is it easily removable (e.g. watercolor). My preference is for unpainted prints.

I am waiting to hear from the seller about that---I am the same. I get painting/highlighting them for photos---I have a couple of prints myself and while they look good and clear in person they can be a pain to photograph. But, yeah, I'd definitely want it to be easily removeable.

The shape is typical of what you see sold at shows on French Grallator prints.  I kind of like some light enhancement so you and others can see these fine prints since they are a very faint.  You just have to make sure that the majority of what you are looking is not enhanced and shaped.   Unfortunately most sellers that I talked to at shows were really clueless on what was done to each slab.

Thanks for taking a look and for the advice. The one I am most interested in getting is the top concave one--- I figure that will show up better even with enhancement removed.

 

Seller emailed back. The enhancement can be removed and offered to do it if I place an order.

Looks like the ones published. But difficult to determine with the paint.

Hi, seller sent a pic without highlight if you could take a look, that would be great. Screenshot is ok? The file sent is big and I cant decompress size on my phone.

 

Thanks for the help

Side by side comparison.

Back a number of years ago,  I purchased a Grallator  track laid down in the US Connecticut River Valley.

 

I added 2-3 drops of water to the rock. You do not need the paint. Yours look about right.

 

Then I used a color filter on my camera to create this image

[FF7_Yuffie]

Thanks for taking a look. Water brings it out really well--thanks for the tip. Will be good to know for whenever I get around to posting some of my other prints online. This print seems to check out ok--always very wary of prints---so I'll look into getting it.

 

Thanks for help

Still not the best photo (would need a photo made with highlight "Streiflicht" ), but from what can be seen it's a good possibility that it is a track....
