Mosasaur paddle bone

[Bone guy]

I found this mosasaur paddle bone on the auction site. Thought it might be a cool piece. But it is from morocco, and I've heard about the huge amount of mosasaur fakes from there. So is this real???

[Seguidora-de-Isis]

Yes! In my opinion there is a real deal here! Not a perfect bone. It is noted that already at that time was in an accelerated state of decomposition, which is excellent news, because beautiful and perfect fossils raise immediate red flags. The bone and the matrix has compatible coloration with the phosphate mines in morocco and the matrix does not appear to have been modeled since it is possible to see other embedded fossils. In addition to the above, you will hardly get anything better than this for a bargain of just US $18,00 ! Let's wait for more opinions!

Yep, this is fine.

Yup a bit worn, but a real paddle bone.

It's real, don't worry.
