What should it look like under uv light?

has some restaurations, but sometimes this Discos really look ugly and imperfect

For me it looks like less quality one

I have a similar one in the preproom, it is 90% real but looks bit like the one that was shown...

That is reflected in the price.

Lots and lots of painting! Very noticeable on the finger bones and spine. Looks like they used an air scribe to clean up mistakes and differentiate between "rock" and "bone" here. I've seen a lot like these front and center at street fair booths hawking crystals and common fossils.

 

My advice for a real discosauriscus is try to find one that's got dimensionality. The bones should pop out of the matrix a little bit with a lot of detail and even breakage, especially with a few super small teeth still in the jaw. Also many are incomplete, which aren't worth faking but still look great with the huge head included.

Finished fingers, tail, probably some ribs. I have been collecting them in Moravia for many years.
