Siegchomimus Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hello everyone, I found this fossil online and was interested in bying it, but upon closer inspection, I feel like it's kinda weid Looking..it's supposedly a skull of Canis (Xenocyon) falconeri from China. But the front teeth, espacially the canine are odd. And the snout look thick too. What do you think ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 This looks to be heavily repaired and the bottom jaw looks like it may be from a different animal. Looks like it is preserved differently? Im not saying it is, just looks this way to me. If I was going to buy this it would be great to have this sitting in front of me so I could inspect it thoroughly.

Sjfriend Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 With the look of the forward part of the skull, I wouldn't buy without hands on inspection. I can't say for sure something is off but ..... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 If in doubt, look at the snout. Suspicious. 4 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
