Troodon Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I like the crisp detail of the bones, in my opinion it looks real even the feet. The hands are out of focus when enlarged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I like it. It appears to be the less common dorsal presentation. If it were mine, I would choose a small place where the bone should continue beneath the matrix. I would use a carbide needle/dental pick or some such implement to explore a small part of that area to see if additional bone can be uncovered. I would do this, not as additional prep (it displays fine already), but to prove to myself that bone is contained within the matrix, unseen. Edit: Looking at your photos again I note the commonly seen "healed" fractures running across the plate. One goes through the tail. I would use a 10X loupe to examine that area and see if the break goes through bone. Also viewing the entire piece section by section under magnification will easily reveal any paint enhanced areas. I have no reason to believe paint is present. It is simply a "rule out" that lends more evidence to authenticity.

jpc Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 looks real but hastily prepped with a wire brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glu Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Very bad preparation but real. Could you post a photo of the hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
