kirkjeremiah23 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I bought this keichosaur a few years ago. I have read many topics where these have been fabricated or painted. What are your opinions on this one? Is it authentic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Looks good. Typical acid prep. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

fossilcrazy Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Looks like a real Keich that has had some rough prep work. Quite common for these aquatic reptiles. So It's a keeper, not someones art work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhen Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 A genuine acid prepped specimen. Note that the slab seems to have been broken along the quartz vein and glued together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone guy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Nice one! I see a few teeth in that skull. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpenn Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Are those sclerotic rings or just little divots in the prep? In any event, nice Keich with a great head on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yep, glued. Question is if both parts are from the same individual.... Except this, no red flags here imo. @jpenn : no sclerotic ring for keichs, see here: https://archive.org/details/functionalmorpho39link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
