I was about to purchase this Crotalocephalus but looking at its feet I’m a bit concerned that it’s not genuine, can anyone give any advice? 

 

Cheers

Looks genuine to me as well. These are fairly common, so not the best candidate for forgery. The pleural spines look ok, although the prep job looks a bit rushed. Some of their ends may be carved a bit, but tough to tell from this image alone.

As Kane states, ... Pleural spines, ... not feet. ;) 

Looks like a nice one.
