Got my new Hyphalosaurus today, it's been seen on here previously it seems, love it however and had to show it off, the right side is broken so will need to get it fixed at some point so for now it will live in the Riker case to keep it safe :)

 

Hope you guys like it

I hope I am wrong about this, but unfortunately, this looks carved and painted to me.  :unsure:

 

Do you see any bone texture when you look at it through a loupe?

 

Compare with this paper: LINK

If it is the same one, then it is real with lots of paint added.

I would try to remove the paint, if possible.

Try to use a bit of acetone on one of the painted on "ribs", to test if you can remove it without damaging the specimen.

No worries.  :)

Posting a link to a dealer is not allowed, for any reason. Nor is listing the dealer name. VIA PM is fine, but not on the open boards.

If someone can click on a link, they are brought to a commercial website - it is advertising- indirectly.

Prices and sellers are just not discussed on the open forums.   ;)
