svcgoat Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) This is listed on one of our favorite auction sites. I am no expert on these the seller lists it as a Nothosauria however they also list it as Jurassic and my understanding is this species would be Triassic. Additionally they list it as an amphibian but this would be a reptile so again a lot of red flags, No location is listed so I have inquired and am awaiting a response. What are y'all thoughts on this? Its actually listed as Sinohydrosaurus and was obtained from a local auction so no provenance.

Ludwigia Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Another red flag would be that it looks like somebody's done a lot of whittling on this thing. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 This is a nice piece of artwork, but not a real fossil. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
