Hello to everyone!
This is my first discussion on this forum. I have just started to collect dinosaur fossils and I wanted to learn from all of you. Specially to identify a real fossil from a fake one, if that is possible. I have found an interesting fossil that I would like to purchase if it is authentic, but I have several doubts. The fossil is an Iguanodon Jaw (see pictures attached) discovered in Isle of Wight, UK. The dealer says that this bone belonged to an iguanodon that would have lived approximately 120 million years ago. They also told me that the jaw has been restored from two fragments that had broken naturally; both these pieces are associated and from the same animal. What do you think. Any clue would be appreciate.
Thank you so much!!
