New Keichousaurus

[aplomado]

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.

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.

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...
