palochris68 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hello ! This is my first fossil, bought Sunday on an international exhibition (Ste Marie aux Mines) I have studied a lot of the old threads on the forum about Kechousaurus, I paid attention to the painting, the shape of the spine etc. The seller was very appreciated and we talked a lot, so I trust him. What do you think? Especially its preparation? He told me that he prepared the fossil with the sandblaster, no acid and no paint. Is this a nice and authentic piece?

Miocene_Mason Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 That’s a great one! Nice acquisition! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Little bit drifted specimen, but good prep-job and no red flags here to see - looks OK, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyhen Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's genuine and nicely prepped. Most of the specimens from China are acid prepped or manually prepped as they don't have sand blaster or pneumatic tools, and thus the prepped Keichousaurus are mostly damaged a bit. Compare it with the attached one, which is manually prepped in China with simple manual tools like dissection knife and chisel, and is a relatively better one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
