Dinomaniac Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 A partial dinosaur (I guess is psittacosaurus). Please help me see if this is real or fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The bones are real it's not a a psittacosaurus. The skull may belong to the skeleton or added later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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.. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Seguidora-de-Isis Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 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! 1 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 for those not familiar with the romance languages, 'basin' is translation of 'pelvis'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
