Troodon Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 A very large Moroccan centrum is being offered for sale. Seller identifies it as a Carcharodontosaurus. In my opinion this looks more like a Sauropod with that very large pleurocoel in the lateral view. Not sure what is going on with that purplish looking material if its been added. Spinosaurus tail, caudal vertebra being offered for sale no mention of any repairs. The centrum does look like its from a Spinosaurid but the processes look composited. You can see the typical Moroccan matrix mix between those processss and centrum. Seller is advertising this as a Carcharodontosaurus toe bone. Identifying isolated toe bones to a species in the Kem Kem is very difficult not much is published that describes them. Its a nice bone buy it as an indeterminate Theropod. Lots of eggs are showing up for sale. Most are fake....this is just a reminder of that, please post interests here before you buy. I still see some dealers offering Rugops teeth for sale from the Kem Kem. Just a reminder that this species is only described from the Echkar Fm of Niger. Most of the teeth offered are Abelisaurid but are indeterminate from the Kem Kem until something is published. For fun saw this 4 figure listing, seller describes it as a petrified baby dinosaur skull with teeth, skin and brain matter coming out of the side of its mouth looks like an alien head to me.

indominus rex Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks again for posting these Troodon, lately I have been seeing many of these fakes(they are at their peak). The "Rugops" tooth is actually being sold by a vertebrate palaeontologist so this shows that even palaeontologist can be fooled. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils.

Troodon Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 This 4 1/2" spinosaur tooth is up for sale. A good example of how a fake root can look and almost double the size of the tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Another example of an augmented root pretty bad one I might say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relisted and prices slashed. Great opportunity to own this but re-identified as a baby animal head....well at least we are getting closer to a rock ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Could be Mothra's larva. Godzilla's coming back! Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!
