A person is selling this fossil as a faithful reproduction by framed casting (11 inches x 16 inches) purchased in Shanghai. I have the impression that it could be real, is this possible?

Hello, I'm wondering if the pictured fossil is a genuine one, or a forgery. I can see that the fingerbones seem to be painted, though I'm not sure about rest - it seem a bit sketchy, with the oddly round "dots" around the bone structure, and a bit obvious touch-ups by brush on the "seam" of the broken matrix (close to the leg). The neighboring insect also seem odd (especially the front, with brushstrokes...) I'm aware that the piece is touched up/enhanced, though I'm wondering how much of the real thing is in that frog? It's supposed to be a chinese Genibatrachus from Liaoning;

I received yesterday, a pair of brachiopods of this species, from a Chinese seller, I asked for information, and this is the only thing they sent me. I would appreciate if any member could translate the text, or tag to another member who can translate it. Thanks. It is not necessary to translate everything... just name, age and origin.

Fushun Amber (Guchenzgi Fm., 56-50 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Roughly 200g of small (≈1g) nodules and runs of amber from the West Open Pit Mine in Fushun, China; the mine was closed in 2019, but small pieces of amber are still recovered from coal found in the gangue piles; it is separated from the matrix by mechanical action and immersion in large vats of saltwater solution, and recovered with netting as it collects at the surface. This material is hard, takes a high polish, and is often shaped and drilled to make beads. Its chemical and spectrographic signatures indicate this amber is derived from a cupressaceous source.© Kaegen Lau

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've started a topic on the forum; but over time, it has occurred to me how many of our forum members have spectacular specimens of Chinese trilobites. I hope to start this thread to showcase and celebrate the amazing trilobite fossils that come from China, contributed by no other than our very own. Chinese trilobites have been relatively underlaid in the trilobite collection world by the Moroccan material and Russian material. But with a jaw-dropping diversity and rarity of trilobites, China's trilobites may make up for the incredible 3-D preservation seen in Moroccan Devonian trilobites and Russian Ordovician trilobites. China's Cambrian trilobites are quite famous and popular, ranging from the god-status trilobites of the Kushan formation in Shandong, to the unique trilobites of the Sandu formation from Guangxi, to the ancient trilobites of the Chengjiang and Guanshan fauna in Yunnan... the list goes on. Perhaps we may even start to hear Chinese Cambrian, Russian Ordovician, American Silurian and Moroccan Devonian in the future amongst trilobite collectors! Regardless, I hope the collectors of the forum would be willing to share their fossils to us, no matter how they are. The more the merrier!

A small run of amber from the West Open Pit Mine in Fushun, China, weighing .7g and measuring (mm) 11x15x9; the oblique view better displays the slightly oxidized surface of the largest flow in the piece.

Can anyone read Chinese? Translation from dinosaur paper needed!
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I know this is a bit unusual but i am not sure who i can ask about this. I am currently researching dinosaur skin and am trying to read more about the described skin of the sauropod Mamenchisaurus youngi, which is discussed in a book published by Ouyang and He, 2002 "The First Mamenchisaurian Skeleton with Complete Skull: Mamenchisaurus youngi". I have a PDF copy of the book and the relevant section about the skin is pictured below, but the book is in Chinese and the PDF does not have copy-enabled text, so i can't copy/paste it into google translate. My only option is to find someone that can translate it for me. Perhaps there is someone on this diverse forum that can help If anyone can translate this text into English it would be very much appreciated! Thankfully it isn't that long. If someone is able to translate this, i'm happy for this topic to then be deleted afterwards, as i realise it's not the usual sort of content and probably doesn't need to be kept visible long term.- 3 replies

Hello all, i was offered this keichousaurus and was wondering if someone has an idea if it’s authentic, judging from the photos only. The seller describes it as museum quality. And it’s supposed to be seven inches. These are the best photos I was able to get. It is supposedly from China from an old collection exported in the 80s. Best wishes

Keichousaurus, real or fake?
lexandc posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, Recently I saw a Keichousaurus fossil at the bidding site. It is suspiciously cheap, the seller does not describe the condition of the specimen very clearly, except claiming it to be "authentic." Needless to say, it is already raising a lot of red flags. I am no expert in fossils. I just started collecting 2 months ago. I read some articles on TFF and know that Keichousaurus is one of the most commmonly fabricated. However, from the picture provided by the seller, it looks to me, that it could be at least partially authentic. The tail looks fake, but that head and neck looks ok to me. The body though, i couldnt tell. The color is too dark, it could be paint? May be some part of it is real under the paint? I think it has a very high chance to be a fake, but I dont know for sure. I am hoping that maybe someone can point to me, which part of it is fake.. Or real if there is any. Thanks- 19 replies

Hi all, please be careful whenever you purchase Chinese vertebrate fossils or dinosaur eggs, especially turtles and birds. While some of these may look laughably fake, a search on purchase history reveals that these fossils have been sold over and over again. No prize for guessing which auction site these fossils were sold. I notice three devious techniques used by these sellers: 1) Issuing a certificate, claiming it's been examined by experts etc - Certs mean nothing, unless they are provided by actual museums 2) Selling some real fossils - I've been monitoring this seller's listings for years. Every now and then, a real one shows up. His victims may have bought something genuine from him before, and assumed all his listings are good. 3) Selling replicas alongside his fake fossils - By outright proclaiming some of his listings as replicas, this seller creates the impression that he is a responsible seller who would inform people about the true nature of their purchases. "The best lies have an element of truth" Remember, if you aren't absolutely sure of your purchase, post some pics here on TFF. We have experts who would help you if they can. Also, if you need more info about this listings or the seller, feel free to PM me.
