How’s the quality of the vertebral？

[Cris Tang]

Hi.

May I know what the quality of the vertebral is, please?

Thank you

Pretty bad...it's an assemblage of parts from different animals.  You really should be looking at a different source for your material all he has is junk

Thank you for your advice.

He is the first Moroccan seller I know.

So I wish that I can get something nice from him.

But I’m still so flesh about Morocco fossils.

I will try to find other source.

Thank you so much

Why consider offerings from a seller who has been proven to offer junk time and time again? I would ignore this man. As a starting collector I wouldn't buy Moroccan fossils from a photo and directly from Morocco. Unfortunately, the chance that you will end up disappointed is very high. And with someone who is not even able to take a decent picture of his fossils, I would stay away completely. 100% that the man knows it's junk and wants to cover it up with dubious photos.

A reminder to keep discussion on the specimen, not the seller.

For me, it is the second time only.

First time, he sent me 12 boxes last week.

And today, he sent me 16 boxes.

This's my first time to see so many Morocco fossils.

So I have no ideas for all of them.

I'm so sorry for bother you all in this week.

Now, I guess I have enought basic knowledge to analysis part of this fossils/ junks.

Sorry about that again.

Excuse you are right. I just wanted to warn a well-meaning budding collector and help avoid a bad experience.

On topic, as indicated, not the best vertebra.

The neural arch is mounted backwards on the centrum. Lots of repair too. And the two min pieces probably don't belong together as is often the case.
Not a good vert. Avoid.

 No need to apologize. This subforum exists for you to ask these types of questions. I don't think anyone is bothered but instead just trying to save you time and trouble from sorting through dubious material.

 

When you say the seller "sent" you these boxes, do you mean you are in possession of these pieces? Have you already purchased all of the material you have posted?

Oh... I mean he sent me the pictures only.

I only bought 4 boxes of them.

So, I will take more clear pictures after I received them.
