Real or Fake: Nanotyrannus
Mt_Splashmore posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi All, Completely new to the world of fossil collecting and starting small and safe with teeth! But I’m conscious that there are a lot of fakes out there so to be safe I’ve completely written off the popular, colourful Auction site. I have two fossils at the moment (please see my other real/fake post!) which I decided to buy off a website. They are well regarded on local groups and forums so seemed like the proper way of buying my first fossils. In hindsight, I may have naively rushed into the purchases out of excitement without getting opinions from TFF (more because I didn’t know this place existed!). My second fossil was, a small Nanotyrannus tooth. The stated information is given below: Nanotyrannnus lancensis Hell Creek Formation, Maastrican, Powder River County, Montana, USA I do hope they are genuine, but I’d rather know the truth if they aren’t. If it is real, I’d also been keen to know any insight on condition, features, opinions you all may have! Finally, if anyone has any recommended sites/auctioneers etc. to find good quality fossils, feel free to PM me as any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My First Trilobite: looks real or fake?
DapperDavo posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, This is my first post. I recently purchased this item being sold as an authentic trilobite. It was in a box of about 12 and I purchased it cheap. If it's real, fantastic. If not, it's a minor loss. It is 3.75 inches/9.525 cm long. Please see the attached photos Thank you for all your help! Dave

Trilobite - Is it real and what species is it?
GenXer posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I purchased this trilobite from a rock shop. After doing some online research, I think it’s real but would like some more opinions. It passes the tooth test (feels like stone). Also, if it is real, does anyone know what type or species it is? TIA!

“Mosasaur” Skull - Real or Fake?
Narwabicorn posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Bought this skull a couple years ago at a gem show. It seemed that the seller wasn’t even sure what it was themself, but claimed it might be a mosasaur skull. It was the only one they had and the rest of the stuff they sold was teeth from North Africa such as Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus teeth. There are some parts that make it look real to me but if it is real, I’m not sure what it would be from.
