Microraptorfan Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Is this a genuine fossil bird from China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Horrible crack repair but the bird looks real. Maybe something fishy about the head? May be some color added on parts of the bird? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I have little to no experience with these, but it seems odd to me that two bones I would've expected to be affected by the big crack look fairly pristine. Not sure if that would be expected or not, but it looks off to me. Circled below. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) I agree with @Brandy Cole I also have no experience with this But the leg bones do look unaffected by the significant crack Edited August 26, 2023 by Yoda MotM August 2023 - Eclectic Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 The closer I look, the more I think there may have been quite a bit of painting involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
