Brutus Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Hey, I have a question... what do you think of the fossil i found at a store? Is it real? It's from ca. 80 Million years from marokko. Edited January 17, 2023 by Brutus added tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadrosauridae Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 First of all, I dont trust anything out of morocco. While there is some authentic fossils, that vast majority are somewhere on the scale of poorly made composites to completes fakes. Without very clear, up-close pics, nobody can give you a definite answer about this. The color of that skull and the vastly differing colors of teeth are major red flags for me 1 1 "There is no shortage of fossils.

Certificates are not worth the paper they're printed on. There is no high authority of authenticating fossils that issues certificates. Some of those teeth appear to be from a different species.

Randyw Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Teeth are from different and there's a lot of not bone there. I can make out a couple bone pieces when I blow up the picture but I'm seeing a lot of manufactured stuff too 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Given that the teeth are composited and a statement from the seller that the skull is from the same animal should raise a red flag....he's clueless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
