Savvas Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I have found this fossil being sold as an original nothosaurus (though in the description it says Hyphalosaurus and at the card on the photo archosaurus). I am really new in this hobby but I think I can tell it looks completely fake. Would apriciate any opinions to see if my skills are geting beter! Thank you all in advance for your answers!

Not even -- I'm an artist and would die of shame if I created something as bad as that! By the way, is that a petrified egg next to it? Mark.

By the way, is that a petrified egg next to it? It is indeed truly terrible! What do you mean artist? Is there any way to combine art and fossils?

Pemphix Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I putted the part of the sentence in parantheses to show that it is imo a bad fake fossil. Like in a testimonial: "He alwas tried to make an effort..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
