psittacosaurus skull

[lone5wolf117]

Hello is this psittacosaurus skull is real and any restoration and repair done to it ?

Looks carved to me. Regardless, if this comes from China which it likely does, it is illegal to own.

This whole thing looks like a plaster sculpture.

Step away from that one.

Difficult to tell whether the skull is real or fake from the two photos.  The skull itself looks suspicious, even if real, there are a lot of repairs.  Some teeth are seen which might add to its authenticity but I am aware that the fossil dealers there are very good at using fossil bones from other animals (e.g. mammals) and craved/assembled them into fake Psittachosaurus skull.  So real bones do not mean the skull is real.
