Ash Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Absolutely beautiful!

DPS Ammonite Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 This is a fantastic piece. The fossils are real and don't appear to have been cemented together by humans. Also note that the fossils have imperfections; some are fractured or broken. You see small parts of fossils beneath. These are good signs and show that the placement of the fossils were made by Mother Nature not by a human. A human creating a fake piece tends to arrange each fossil in an artistic manner and pose each fossil to show its best side. Buy it if you get a good price. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

-Andy- Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I see no red flags. Looks real and natural to me. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeszlinger Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thank you for all the feedback! Also looking at another piece, let me know what you think, it seems like this one may have been prepared in some fashion, but I'm not entirely sure. The description: Top Multiple Ammonites on matrix Name: Leioceras + Ludwigia + LytocerasAge: Aalenian Location: France well prepared natural stand natural colors an excellent piece for collection and studies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 This block is also quite alright, although I don't think that the ids are all correct. Of course it's been prepped. Most fossils which are offered have been. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
