Fossildude19 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Looks OK to me. Enlarged, cropped, and contrasted: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
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 post Share on other sites

What do you mean with It would be hard to fake how this one is oriented? You mean it’s disjointed? Thank you so much! 4 hours ago, FranzBernhard said: Real, in various conditions of prep.

Thank you so much! Thank you! Would you buy it for REDACTED? It measured 15-20 cm As Kane says we don't appraise monetary value on the Forum. Personally, while this is a real specimen, it is not in the best of shape, an I would opt for a more complete specimen. Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites
