Keicollector Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 On reddit, i was told my Keichousaurus was called an "atrocious glue up" i cant see any issue, but i want to see if you guys can diagnose any issue the little critter has, and suggest ways to resolve them.

Crusty_Crab Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I can see why someone might call it that. There appears to be 4 different segments in the neck. Segment (a) looks like it was just carved out of rock. No details, just an uneven ridge. Segment (b) might have some bones, badly prepared. Note how it does not line up with segment (c)- like someone snapped the poor creature's neck. Segment (c) you can identify individual vertebrae and segment (d) looks like a lump of putty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keicollector Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Cool, ill message the auctionhouse demanding a refund. I bought a lot labeled as a keichousaur, not a combination of bones, carving and putty. Thanks for the breakdown and info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 It's pretty messy, to be sure. The neck, as stated has several issues. Very poor prep. Missing the head. And some really poor restoration. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

These fossils are relatively common and I am sure you will be able to find a superior replacement to grace your collection. If you find a piece that you like, post images to this Forum before you buy. Members here are very happy to comment as to a piece's positive attributes or lack there of.

RJB Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hey @Keicollector, if by chance you do any prep on these Keichy's, let me know with a PM and I will set you up. Good luck RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
