Keichousaurus

[FB003]

This is normally not the type of thing I'd consider as it's not up the same alley of things I normally collect (dinosaur) but I came across it on a not so known site so I'm curious if it's real as I just don't have an eye for these.  Color is relatively uniform which is throwing me off quite a bit as normally these are painted from what I've seen here.

I like the look of this one.

Real and good specimen.

Looks unpreped (??), but its a very clear split. In my eyes - superb!

Nice one. Looks natural and not enhanced with color. A good preparation would reveal much more details on the head and all digits..

I also can't see any relevant cracks in the matrix

Very nice. It appears to be the less common (I am led to believe) dorsal presentation. I would be pleased to own it, as is; but light air abrasion may "improve" the piece.

Dorsal as in looking down with back on top?

EDIT: I think I see what you mean in the ribs and how they fall compared to others. Good observation. I always just assumed it was always the same.

 

Thanks everyone for the responses.

Yes. Notice the lack of Pelvis or breast bones showing.

Thanks. Learned something new.

Genuine specimen, still covered by a thin layer of matrix.  The part of skull and upper neck seem to be prepped with acid and some bones are eroded.  The rest of the body is not prepped.
