RaideReX Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Good day everyone, I'm looking into these two partial mammal skulls: An oreodont Merycoidodon and a Camel Poebrotherium. I'd like some help to find out if these are all real or have been partially fabricated, enhanced, composited, total fakes.

Randyw Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 One tooth on the Oreodont is a little out of position but that’s probably a result of the fossilation other then that they look good to me.of course that’s just going by the pictures.

snolly50 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 From the photos, I see no reason to believe that the pieces are not authentic. I recognize the paper labels and I dealt with that company years ago, before the Internet revolutionized the purchase of fossils. I found them (at that time) to be knowledgeable and dependable. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 As @snolly50 said these are authentic and the id’s are correct. The Oreodont skull will look nice with some prepping to expose the teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
