I wonder if this seller actually lists these items for a joke or a meme, it might sound far fetched but I cant see any other reason behind it :headscratch:

Some of them will sell. :(

And he might really believe it, we get similar posts on here sometimes.

According to the description, some kind of Stegosaurus hatchling. Not kidding. :wacko:

And probably from a place that Stegosaurus never roamed.  Funny how people throwing out ID's always seem to latch onto the classics.

You never hear them state it might be from any of the lesser known species.

Quite tempted by this petrified head on the big auction site. I think it’s a steal at a mere $6000. Not.

I have no idea what he is talking about ... it's obviously an extremely worn (and rare mind you) alien navigator skull ... !  With a little creativity this guy could really draw down the big bucks.

What if it's a fossil alien head from an ancient UFO crash?

Actually a woman. Everything she collects looks like it comes from Glen Rose TX. Has some scientific write ups to back it all up if you're not convinced! I love these "tiny dinosaur eggs". Only $100 each! And you're right. Looks like she sold a few. Sheesh.

Totally real, but sadly misidentified.  It is actually a fossilized Beluga whale head.

ahaha :)

 

But really, doesn't anyone realize it are just fossilized potatoes cultivated by the Velociraptors before?! It's clear as a blue sky ...:

1/ small front claws of the Velociraptor from generations of handling these potatoes

2/ shovel-like claws to dig the potatoes in their fields

3/ small reptile: because their diet consisted nearly 99.5% of these potatoes, they lacked proteins and other nutrients to grow any taller

4/ they had very sharp teeth like you yourself use a knife in the kitchen to work with potatoes

5/ it was also visible in their behavior: they always looked behind unexpectedly, a bit nervous, because these potatoes were so wanted by the species back then that they'd hustle each other for it quite often.. they developed a nervous 'My Precious'-tick (has been described by J.R.R Tolkien already in 1937)   

 

to clarify: size of Velociraptor in comparison to humans - pay attention that the are really built for this potato-size

shape of the claw: real potato-diggers, see how the fingers curl inwards with this adult from holding a lifetime 'my precious'-potatoes

Behaviour: 100% linked to the defending of the small potatoes

And it was the infamous K-T Boundary Potato Famine that caused their extinction. :(
