Raulsaurus Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hello! I have seen this. The seller assures that it is completely natural and is not polished. What do you think? Is it a good piece? Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'm always a fan of a mold in a footprint "bottom" versus a cast "top" but pick the one you like best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Both are lovely . Toss a coin, choose one print as heads and one tails. If you’re disappointed with the out come. You have your answers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Personally, I don't think "value" should really enter into the equation. Do you like it? Is it pleasing for you to look at? Does it spark or stir your sense of imagination about the creature that made it, and the time it was alive? These are the questions I ask myself before personally collecting or purchasing a fossil for my collection. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Some times it can be as simple as I like the position of the fossil on the matrix or two species in association making a pleasing composition. I think if you are not sure you did the right thing by asking Forum for an opinion. If you like the one the members like go for it. Pretty nice example 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
