Hello, I just joined this forum. Back in the early 2000s I bought a few dino eggs, they came from China. Since then, as I understand, China has cracked down on export of fossils/eggs, it's illegal to export them. Eggs are now more expensive and harder do get. Of course there are a lot of fakes on online so one needs to be careful. I read prior posts here about eggs with pics of fakes and genuine ones. Below are two Hadrosaur eggs I saw online, and wanted opinions if they are genuine or not. They look legit to me but I'm no expert. I assume it's not illegal to sell/buy these eggs within the USA, at least the ones already here.

Real and bad preserved, or carved and paint Keichousaurus ?
Brevicollis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, i saw this Keichousaurus from Gouizhou, China, on auction today and think theres something wrong about it. The bones look like If they're carved from one piece, the toes look paint. But im not sure If its a complete fake. Because many of the structures seem to be real, but badly preserved. Also, i dont know how common it was in the 1980/90's to fake Keichous. Thats when it was found. So what do you think about it, is it a real and bad preserved one, a 50/50, or a complete fake ? Thanks for any advise ! (The seller didnt made that many close up pictures from different angles, sadly) -
Yangchuanosaurus Theropod Tooth From Shaximiao Formation, Zigong, Sichuan Province, China?
Pliosaur posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I would like to know if this tooth may possibly be from Yangchuanosaurus species. It is from the Shaximiao Formation, Zigong, Sichuan Province, China Formation is Jurassic age and relatively very little material is known from this formation and particularly in China although seems like Yangchuanosaurus has been described from this location et al. (1978) named Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis on the basis of CV 00215, a complete skull and skeleton which was collected from the Shangshaximiao Formation, near Yongchuan, Yongchuan District, Sichuan. Tooth measures less than 2 inches and the serrations appears too worn to make an ideal identification, although looking at teeth from skulls of Yangchuanosaurus, they do seem very similar , in shape and size Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! -
Hi everyone! I saw these for sale listed as "Sabretooth cat upper molars from the gansu province of china", which is really cool since I've always wanted sabre cat material but I have no experience with these fossils (since they are unreasonably difficult to find/ get a hold of) so I'm hoping the forum can give a second opinion on the ID and point out any potential funny business (besides the obvious repaired break on one, which I'm okay with). Size isn't listed, but I have contacted the seller asking about that and am awaiting a response. Any insight is appreciated as always!

Howdy! I read over the thread on dinosaur eggs and I'm still not sure if these are real. These two eggs supposedly come from the nanxiong formation of ganzhou China. They are being sold from South Korea.The texture of the egg shell looks like it could be Oviraptor. Is it suspicious that both eggs are listed as being the same size 18 x13 cm? Thanks.

There's tons of images of all kind of Keichousaurus specimens online, but I couldn't find a single image/video of where do they find them or how are they extracted. Does anybody know where this kind of material can be found? Disclaimer: It is common knowledge that most (?) Keichousaurus are found in China, the question doesn't go in that direction.

The longest one is roughly 2cm long. I’ve counted 12 on the rock, which itself is about 5cm long. All I know is that it’s from the Maotianshan shales in China. I was told it’s a Yunnanozoon, but I believe this is incorrect as the person I got it from is often wrong with their identifications.

Please show me your casts, replicas and fakes of Keichosaurus
FranzBernhard posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Quite regularly, questions turn up about the authenticity of Keichosaurus fossil specimens. Until now, most, if not all, were natural, but mostly just very poorly prepped. Would you like to show off "real" fakes, casts or replicas of Keichosaurus? I would like to get a feeling for them, at least from pics. If there already exists such a topic somewhere else in the forum, please put a link in this topic. Thank you very much! Franz Bernhard- 23 replies
