Bguild Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Looks real to me - It would be hard to fake how this one is oriented. There might be some restoration. Do you have a better picture of the middle section? Wondering if those little ribs are real. Middle vertebrae look like they’re prepped differently so curious about those as well.

FranzBernhard Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Real, in various conditions of prep. But there are much better ones out there. Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, while this is a real specimen, it is not in the best of shape, an I would opt for a more complete specimen.

Anyways, reduction means, that nobody else has bought it. A reduced price is a red flag. Its a shopkeeper. Explore the internet and compare quality and prices. Ask here for quality, if you think you have found something good, but keep the price for yourself. Most important: Fossils are not indispensable for life. For most of us, its all for fun in its widest sense . Franz Bernhard Edited May 11, 2021 by FranzBernhard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
