aplomado Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 My new Keichousaurus, a half grown one to go with my baby one. Thanks for the advice, everyone who helped me with this purchase! The bones are 3d, it's not a bad prep job I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplomado Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Looked at it under a dissecting scope- and I think that black spot near the middle-top above the crack is actually the missing tail vertebrae... how it got up there, I have got no idea... definitely real bone, I could see a few worn teeth under magnification.

I'm no expert, but I looked at it under the dissecting scope. It's 3d with textured bones, and I could see teeth under magnification that aren't visible with the naked eye... no sign of paint either. I'm pretty sure it is 100% real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplomado Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 OK, took some pics this morning... fossil is sprinkled with very small crystals, and there are pits in the bone... Note the stumps of teeth in the skull above... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
