connorp Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Looks carved to me. Regardless, if this comes from China which it likely does, it is illegal to own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 This whole thing looks like a plaster sculpture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyhen Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Difficult to tell whether the skull is real or fake from the two photos. The skull itself looks suspicious, even if real, there are a lot of repairs. Some teeth are seen which might add to its authenticity but I am aware that the fossil dealers there are very good at using fossil bones from other animals (e.g. mammals) and craved/assembled them into fake Psittachosaurus skull. So real bones do not mean the skull is real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
