Need help with ID please

[Cmtrg1]

Country of origin China

Just under 7 inches by 4 inches for actual matrix

Sold as a snake dated 100mya

Just something doesn't look right to be a snake, no vestigial limbs, vertebrae not as defined as a snakes would be as well as the 2 antenna looking structures, but the head is too big for 100% ID.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Thank you

Welcome to TFF!

Sorry but Your snake is a fake carving and is totally fabricated. It is not a fossil.

Hi,

 

It is a forgery! Never seen a head of snake fossilized as this one, especially with eyes still in orbits !

Sorry, not a polychaete.

These hoax snakes are becoming popular, often labeled as dendroaspis polylepis, which is the black mamba (a recent species). Vertebrates are not allowed to be exported from china, although some verts are here from before the ban. In the mid Cretaceous, snakes had just begun evolving and are extremely rare. always be wary when you look to buy fossils, fakes are everywhere and they get better and better every few years.

Unfortunately, this is not one of the better ones. Even the tongue is fossilized in the out of mouth position!  This looks like a kid made it in art class.

I love those google eyes!

I really feel bad for whoever bought this fraud. Honestly, i when I first looked at the supposive skull, i thought it was a crushed bug.
