Crazyhen Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This is said to be a juvenile Jeholosaurus from Jehol. It looks genuine but I would like to seek your views on its authenticity and completeness of the skeleton. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I can't really tell from these photos, but I'd say the brownish coloured bits look real enough, but the matrix coloured sections look like they may be carved in places. 3 Life's Good!

daves64 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I wouldn't mind having one like that. Not sure where I'd put it, but I'd sort it out.

TyBoy Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Compared your skull to a known Jeholosaurus skull see below. Openings in skull other than the eye orbit are missing as well as all the fine detail. Fabricated? https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0198078 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Particularly I do not think it is a fabrication, taking into account that the specimen is not at all well prepared, and the sediments appear to fill the cranial cavities, just as in the rest of the skeleton: Already the beak, it seems that it was broken and there was some attempt of repair, but in my opinion, nothing that could tarnish the great beauty of this specimen! 2 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!

Crazyhen Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks, my friend @Seguidora-de-Isis. This skeleton looks rather complete except the missing parts on the right side. The claws of the left lower limbs are very nicely preserved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
