Taxonomy from Fossilworks.com. Etymology: “Jehol,” refers to “the Jehol Biota”; “chelys” is “turtle” in Greek; the specific epithet refers to the type locality. Diagnosis from Shao et al. 2018, p. 7/21: "This new taxon has a low-domed shell, as in other Cretaceous sinemydids, and it is diagnosted with an unusual combination of features: nasal absent; midline contact of prefrontals; interorbital roof narrow; parietal expanded bilaterally along the supraoccipital crest; parietal separated from squamosal; supraoccipital crest slightly longer than squamosal horn; upper temporal emargination moderately developed; cranial scales present; oval carapace distinctly longer than wide; nuchal emargination shallow; preneural absent; eight neurals; two subequal suprapygals; pygal present; third costals with parallel anterior and posterior sides; cervical scale present; vertebral scales wider than long; first vertebral wider than nuchal and contact second marginal; central and posterior plastral fenestrae absent; lateral plastral fenestrae large; four phalanges of pedal digit V."

Anchiornis with feathers
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This looks like an Anchiornis from Liaoning, China. The specimen seemingly has its features preserved. Does it look like it's painted?- 10 replies

What do you think about the authenticity of the two claws? They are said to be Ornithomimus from Liaoning Province of China. One is hind limb and the other one is front limb?

This is an Enantiornithes bird found at Liaoning of China. Note the chest region in which it looks like remnant of skin (and feathers around the body too). Also, there is a pair of long tail feathers. What do you think about its authenticity?

This fossil was found at Liaoning at the same formation as Psittachosaurus. Any idea what is that? A primitive turtle or a dorsoventrally compressed Psittachosaurus? The locals called it "turtle-back dragon" in Chinese.

This piece of bone is from Liaoning Province, China. Does it look like it belongs to a therizinosaurid dinosaur? Is it a forelimb?

Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. The name "Jehol Biota" replaced the former "Jehol Fauna", which Amadeus William Grabau (1923) defined as the fossil assemblage typified by numerous fossils of the conchostracan Eosestheria, the mayfly Ephemeropsis, and the Teleost fish Lycoptera. Thus it was sometimes called "EEL". Ephemeropsis trisetalis is a mayfly nymph described by Eichwald in 1864. the type locality is Tourga river in siberia, an Aptian lacustrine mudstone in the Turga Formation of the Russian Federation. Some Chinese paleoentomologists attributed most of the specimens of Hexagenitidae, which are similar to Ephemeropsis from China, especially Northern China, to so-called Ephemeropsis trisetalis Eichwald 1864. Hong (1982) published a line drawing (Fig. 8C.) of imago based on a specimen from Yixian Formation, Heishangou Village, Chifeng County, Liaoning Province, China. The line drawing shows the same character of new genus Epicharmeropsis: distinct intercary veins existing between MP1 and CuA1 which is obviously different from Ephemeropsis although the drawing itself had (according to Huang et al. 2007) some mistakes. Huang, et al. 2007 are of the opinion that the species of Ephemeropsis, which only occurred in Transbaikalia of Russia and Mongolia, was not present in China. The Ephemeropsis-like imago specimens reported before from China, which was classified as Ephemeropsis trisetalis, should be placed into the new genus Epicharmeropsis. Of course, as the nymph specimens of Hexagenitidae from China have not been described in detail and the association between nymphs and adults has not been established, their opinion should be considered as preliminary.

Juvenile Psittacosaurus - real or fake?
Tressmeister posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone! I would like to know your opinions on the following Psittacosaurus mongoliensis specimen. Found in Liaoning, China. Size about 20cm long and ~1kg heavy. I see there's quite a lot of glue/consolidant here. I know some are carved and many are composites but I would like to know your opinions. Is this real or fake? Your input is highly appreciated. Cheers! -

Unknown creature (dinosaur? mammal?) from Liaoning, China
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This fossil is from Liaoning, China. It looks very strange, with a very big head and sharp teeth, not sure if it is a dinosaur or mammal. And whether it is genuine or fake. Any idea? -
Taxonomy from Fossilworks.com Diagnosis for the genus and species from Shen Yan-bin et al. 1998, p. 3. “ Carapace with shallow smooth ‘optical‘ grooves and smoothly rounded lateral margins extending laterally to third thoracomere, with second thoracomere exposed via a medio-dorsal indentation; pleomeres 1-5 large, well developed and setose, with large, sub-equal, sub-rectangular protopod, ovoid endopod and ovoid, two-segmented exopod; subtriangular telson with pair of short, medial terminal spines; well-developed setose uropods with rectangular protopod, large, ovoid endopod and exopod of two subequal segments.” Line drawing from Taylor 1999, p. 49: Identified by oilshale using Shen et al. 1998 References: Shen Yan-bin, Taylor, Rod S., Schram, Frederick R.

Dear forum, I've visited recently the magnific endless expositions of the Naturistorisches Museum Wien (Vienna natural history museum). Almost all fossils were identified here, but there are some that don't. Usually I don't photograph the latter ones but this one was exciting for me as it belongs to a group of insects (still extant) that I like a lot. The fossil come from Liaoning, China. Size is about the same than modern-day Bittacus. Any suggestion of genus and species, please? Thanks!

Again an insect photographed in Naturistorisches Museum Wien (Vienna natural history museum), only indentified as "Coleoptera" in the tag. This one also comes from Liaoning, China. Notice the short antennae and strong granulation in elytra. By general shape this could be maybe a Buprestidae but it's very tentative. They also reminds me a bit the living Melyris (Melyridae). Size is about 12-15 mm lenght. Any help please? Thanks!

Another unidentified insect photographed at Vienna natural history museum, and also coming from Liaoning. General appareance reminds me a lot of Novaboilus multifurcatus, but the thickness of legs and proportions looks like slightly different and I don't know if there are any similar species. Anyway it must be related and probably it's in the family Prophalangopsidae too. Any insight, please? Thanks!

This Sinrapter is from Liaoning, China. It looks like it has been preserved very well. Any idea if it is a genuine one?
