SPrice Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Let's see some pics ... or it didn't happen. Oh yeah! I can hardly wait for these to get into the market so I can have one, too. That certain auction site will be flooded with them. JK Superb preservation and preparation with this specimen and those thin, nearly straight, neck cervical ribs are intriguing!

SPrice Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'm of the opinion this one will stay in China...Duplicates of it?...maybe / probably in the works already. A 3D scanner could provide a printer with a decent mold easily. Next steps = Broken shale slab + glue + Plaster + bone black ink + Morocco style prepping scrapes and scratches = Voila! make some more. The others I looked at were as you said. Part and bits.
