ynot Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Looks like piece work to Me. Made from many different specimens. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Seguidora-de-Isis Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I agree with our friend Ynot. It's real, yes, but it was a bone-montage of several specimens. In addition, the matrix is completely different from the granulation and staining it should have. But anyway, it's an incredible piece of art worthy of any museum! 1 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Real bones. But there is definitely some "restoration" work done here. The skull is lacking details it should have, so I'm guessing it's mostly constructed. About half the femur in the closeup it also looks like it's been filled in. So I agree, this is likely a frankenstein specimen. 7 hours ago, Crazyhen said: This juvenile psittacosaurus is from Liaoning.
