Psittacosaurus skull: Is it real?

[Praefectus]

Hello. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the authenticity of this Psittacosaurus skull. The seller didn't provide measurements and stated the skull came "from Asia." I suspect this is a fabrication, but I would like to hear others' opinions. Thank you for your help.

This is tough. The massive distortion of the skulls are a good sign, but there is something about their morphology that does not sit right with me

 

My guess is that there is some real bone in both of them, but there is also a lot of restoration (more in the bigger skull). Maybe someone more knowledgeable can shed more light

As Andy said real but the bigger guy is fairly beat up with restoration. Second guy not so bad but some restoration on him as well. Teeth look real. 

 

I'd perhaps buy the little skull for the right price but pass on the larger skull. These fossils are fairly common and better specimens will come up.

You really have to hold and examine these skulls to determine how much resto is present.  I have a lot more concerns with poor preservation and resto on the larger one.  The smaller one is much better but like I said hard to see resto.

I see air bubbles on the larger one, and the orbital matrix is added/manufactured I'm certain.

 

As for the little one...hard to tell with that resolution.

Thanks for the help, everyone.
