Hi I came across this Keichousaurus fossil online and was wondering if it is real or as major restorations of painted parts. Thanks!

The lack of some finger bones and cracks running through the head and other parts of the body lead time to believe it might be genuine, but I am not an expert on these types of fossils.

Photos are too poor to tell much.

Sometimes you can tell that parts are painted because they don't have the '3D' topography of real bones fossilized in the prepared matrix.  The pictures make it hard for us to see that level of detail, but you can check for it directly perhaps.

@OneLastSift just add new photos of this same fossil in replies to this topic.  We generally do not delete topics.
