Looks a bit rough, but it does appear to be a Psittacosaurus skull.

Agree real but will require lots of prepping.  Is intact ? might be but the photos do not show all sides and are not adequate to make that call.

The skull is not unusually large for an adult.  The type material skulls of Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis and Psittacosaurus major are each 20+ cm in length.  The smaller species of Psittacosaurus have adult skulls that are in the range of 12-15 cm in length.

This is another skull.  Its color and texture are completely different from the first one.  What do you think?  Is it genuine?  Are they of the same species?

Excellent and sweet acquisition!

 

I do not see any red flags here. It looks very real! Congratulations! :dinothumb:

Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!
