Fossil partial dinosaur real or fake?


Recommended Posts

A partial dinosaur (I guess is psittacosaurus). Please help me see if this is real or fake.

The bones are real it's not a a psittacosaurus.   The skull may belong to the skeleton or added later.

Doesn't really matter, as exporting vertebrate fossils from China is illegal. :(  

Probably for the best if you don't post these here, unless you are in China and planning to purchase..

The legs are very short, besides, I can not see the basin ( pelvis). It seems more like a crocodile skeleton fossil.

For me, the skeleton is not a psittacosaurus mongoliensis, and the skull, there is something abnormal about it, is weird, does not seem to belong to the skeleton, and not even natural, but with modeling of isolated bones. It looks like it was added later to enhance the set. it would be necessary a better photograph for a more appropriate examination. Be very careful about risking the purchase of suspicious material like this, especially if this material is outside of China.

In the photo below, a genuine fossil of psittacosaurus mongoliensis. Hugs!

Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!

for those not familiar with the romance languages, 'basin' is translation of 'pelvis'.
