Hi, all. I'm looking to make my first decent fossil purchase. Until now, it's been nothing but rough trilobites and a large ammonite of questionable authenticity. It was cheap and I like how it looks so I'm not concerned. If it is real, they clearly overdid it on cleaning it up. Anyway, I found this oreodont skull online. Any thoughts on authenticity? My gut says real but with lots of restoration. In the first pic, the area below left from the eye socket looks way too smooth. Same with the area below the other eye socket. I figured this part was all fabricated. Also, the upper canines appear to be a little too intact. Any guidance from the experts would be greatly appreciated.
