M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) I found this Keichousaurus hui online, and thought I might check its legitimacy, as if it is, I’ll try and get it. The sooner I get replies the better. Personally I quite like it. Edited May 1 by M3gal0don_M4n Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevicollis Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Yes, definetly real, but I think it was poorly prepared, resulting in the loss of most of its structure. Or the weak contrast lets it look like this, it havent been colored. I would give this one a 4.5/10, its alright. Edited May 1 by Brevicollis 1 3 I like fossils... Thats all I have to say.

FranzBernhard Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Real, don´t know if poorly prepped or poorly preserved or both. I did not fall in love with it . Franz Bernhard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 (edited) Thoughts on this one, then? (If you can reply quickly, that would be great, as it goes fairly soon. About a day away.) Edited May 1 by M3gal0don_M4n Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polybranchiaspidida Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I think it's really, but I recommend you look for better quality, it's not very good. The sun rises as usual. Welcome come to see my topic:https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/138618-the-growing-collection-of-polybranchiaspidida/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhen Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Both are genuine but acid/mechanically prepped i.e. not of a good quality. The juvenile one has lost much of the details. The adult one has more details. For comparison, look at the unprepped "natural" ones below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Ah. They appear quite hard to find whenever I’ve looked. Personally, I quite like the second one I’ve posted. Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Is the first one I showed still worth a fairly small price? It is going in 2 hours. Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 (edited) Sadly, the second one was much more out of our price range, and has already gone. Edited May 5 by M3gal0don_M4n Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Or is this one better? It is cracked though. Similar price though, and goes very soon. Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 This last one does not look good to me. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Same with me. It looks cool but something felt off. I will bid on the first, because there is something quite interesting about it. Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBkansas Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) It would be better to be patient, well prepped keiches do show up on auction sites and typically for similar prices to poorly prepped ones (most auction bidders don't have TFF to show them the difference).

M3gal0don_M4n Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Okay. That was basically what I did. I only bid on the first one and we lost that in the last 20 seconds. Thanks for the advice! Signature goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
