Crazyhen Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 This looks like an Anchiornis from Liaoning, China. The specimen seemingly has its features preserved. Does it look like it's painted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phos_01 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 On first glimpse it looks very good. Do you have more pictures? Beautiful piece for any collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 It looks a bit fishy to me? Some close ups would be very helpful. RB 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 You cannot say anything definitively with just one distant photo. Need HD closeup photos of all the key areas including skull and feathered areas. All Chinese birds are suspect. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hard to decide, looks at the first and snd view very good and original But, ask for more and details pics before you buy. I am sure this costs pretty more than a burger-menue for every day a year... I would not buy without more pics, but it looks good enough to ask the seller to hold it for you till you could proof it with better pics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree with Troodon that all Chinese birds are suspect, the fake ones are really difficult to tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhen Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Another specimen of Anchiornis, this one is not yet fully prepped. Does it look like it's genuine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixpaleosky Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It looks globally genuine because we can see the unprepped bones under the rock but in order to know if nothing has been painted a close up would be necessary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 looks real to me. Not easy to decide with one Pic, but the argument with the unprepped bones under the surface let me think it is real, too If you do not need it , I have birthday in two weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
