Top Trilo Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 This looks heavily restored to me, the overall shape is no where near normal and the colors and preservation look nothing like normal indonesian megs but a picture direly above it would help Edit: Some close ups of the tip could also help I believe I see serrations so the blade is most likely real (although may not be from one tooth) “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricWonders Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Definitely restored. One of the worst boomerang megs I’ve ever seen, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runner64 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Entire root is fake, the cusps are restored/fake, along with the tip. I would strongly advise avoiding this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or hand it to someone you don't really like and let them throw it away. 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Either there are just more forum posts on them recently, or there’s been a spike of these for sale! I don’t know either way. (Of course, it could also be Jurassic Park style genetically engineered megs that time traveled from future scientific experiments.) 1 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen a lot popping up since November-December. Hadn’t seen many before that, so not so recent, but not to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if one run would be enough, considering all that sturdy epoxy etc. But than: 4 hours ago, Scylla said: I just had to fix a flat tire. I don't want another Too much epoxy, indeed!

Don´t think so, too much epoxy.... Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
