Indoraptor Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Haha okay you guys, thx! So we can consider this as the worst fake one of the week. Even I as a noob doubt it as could not see any bone structure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I lost the auction....but I'm honestly even more disappointed that someone lost $50 on a fake that day...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the same ebay seller sold another one for 133 GBP though ): Would be so nice to one day to have a Pterosaur skull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I looked at this awful example of falsification, I learned to give value to children's excavation kits! Excavation kits for children are much more realistic! My friend @Indoraptor. When an authentic fossil bone of Pterosaur is rarely fossilized in all its dimensions (without crushing), as, for example, occurs in Kem Kem Beds, like any genuine fossil, they have texture to the touch, and these bones are usually hollow: And even if these bones are crushed during geological events, they must still have a bone-to-the texture to the touch, such as this Pteranodon humerus bone: And when they are discovered whole (or almost whole), like this Rhamphorynchus longiceps from Germany, they must present a coherent and consistent appearance according to the anatomical and morphological point of view: Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!
