Fossildude19 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I'm personally seeing some paint. Some may be real, but looks a bit dodgy to me.

piranha Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I don't see any paint. This looks like the typical preservation for these Chinese specimens.

Jasperfossils Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have received better photos of the legs, they look authentic to me. I also want to point out that if they were fake, all the missing parts would be painted over and they will not leave holes like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 A little late to the party. The frog looks fine to me. If there's any paintwork at all, it's minimal 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...
LordTrilobite Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I don't see any red flags here. But these photos aren't really adequate to judge whether these are completely real or not. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
