Crazyhen Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Take a look of this very well preserved Psittachosaurus from Hezheng, Gansu. It looks genuine to me. What do you think? And it's funny to see that the matrix is bound by some tape, presumably preventing the matrix from breaking apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 There is no such Dinosaur with that name it's probably a Psittacosaurus but cannot determine that without seeing the skull. It's normal to use any material to hold together the matrix block and I've seen that before. Your photos are not adequate to determine the authenticity of the bone. Need higher resolution in better light and more of them without a tape measure. The right foot and arm appears to be staged and may be a composite. I would be surprised if the skull is not a composite very typical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead9 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I would be surprised if the whole thing is not composited and remounted, although it is a better than average job. 1 Still Life Fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 That foot looks a little too perfect imo. But the ribcage looks promising. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baryonyx Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Looks very interesting. Pictures of the head would be useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Looks nice to me. It may be composited, but that wouldn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
