Juvenile Sclerocephalus from Pfalz- authentic?


Recommended Posts

My friend is trying to downsize his collection and wondering if I'd be interested in purchasing his small sclerocephalus he's had for a while. Looking at it I'm suspicious about whether at least the limbs are authentic. Can anybody help by looking at these photos under white and UV light as to how much of the fossil looks original?

Looks like a pencil drawing, heavily restored and colored, maybe completly fake. Better dont buy it, there are many better ones on the market.

Are good signatures really that important ?

Looks like something a child would draw and stick on the refrigerator.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Thanks all, I feel bad for him and for a second thought I was crazy thinking it looked so fake. I think he's not the savviest collector

piece of art, worth of a medium size pizza for the time of the artist doing it...

If you like to have a fossil more than 20% original (this might be, perhaps a little bit more) stay away from it :fear:
