pleecan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) The wide spread of fake fossils from China is part and parcel of their own policies of total fossil ban on the export of fossils. The demand is there hence the forgeries become prolific at the cost of academia, which is unfortunate. Edited September 7, 2012 by pleecan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
