Crazyhen Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The specimen below is said to be a Caudipteryx, not sure if it's a C. zoui or C. dongi. Is it a genuine one? Or a very good replica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 This is probably not the answer you want but I will give my input 1) It doesn't look like an outright fake to me. The matrix at least is real. However, it could still be a well-done fake 2) The pictures are far too blurry 3) The skull doesn't look like Caudipteryx. See picture below for comparison of Caudipteryx skulls to yours. The teeth and mandible are completely different 3 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I agree the paper that describes this species describes it as having only long hooked premaxillary teeth and no maxillary and dentary teeth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
