Unfortunately it is very easy to fake Messel fossils. Take a polyester casting, some paint - that's it.

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

Do seahorse fossils even exist!?

Yes. They are rare, expensive, and beautiful.

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!
