Seguidora-de-Isis Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 At our favorite auction site, new collectors can easily be impressed with a fossil crinoid like this: Even more so as it is a large (470mm X 260mm ), gorgeous fossil for display and highly impressive. So, I am posting this here as a alert to new collectors, who often for being inexperienced, end up believing that a ballot US $ 25 Dollars really can exist... First of all, it's interesting to know that in addition to the seller offers entirely free shipping to the world, it's also important that I explain to you that originally this fossil Crinoid is not white! The problem here is that a strange mass (I highlighted it in pink), is uniting dozens of broken crinoids mounted on a fake matriz plate, as if they were whole crinoids, and to disguise this great puzzle, they simply painted everything in white! And now, problem solved, for hardly a new collector would notice in this small but great detail! Look: Any more problems? Yes! All of these areas that I circled in pink are 100% sculpted by human hands! Look: Now you can compare of Guizhou, what is carved and what is 100% real, which is painted white and the one that has original coloration: I apologize for making your dream evaporate, of placing a Guizhou crinoid next to a Guizhou keichousaurus on your shelf... Do you intend to buy from another seller? No problem! On our favorite auction site there are other vendors who also market Guizhou fossil crinoids! See this one! 100% original coloring, and no sculpture made by human hands here! Look: Beautiful and amazing, is not it? 100% original coloring! But the only problem here is that you are taking to your home a new mosaic puzzle: And under the pretext of "pyritization" and "calcite," you will take entirely free to your home, a strange white mass of glue with something unidentified; But if you also did not like this, no problem, there are more choices of Guizhou crinoids on our favorite auction site: Oooooopppsss! Is gone away this option too! At our favorite auction site you will probably notice that a 100% genuine Guizhou crinoid fossil is nothing perfect, it may not be as gorgeous and complete: But at least now you know the difference between one thing and another thing! 9 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!

Crazyhen Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The crinoids shown by our friend Seguidora-de-Isis might have been painted white and are composite/sculptured. However, genuine crinoids would also be white in colour if the outer layer of the fossil is removed. Look at some examples below. They are all genuine crinoids from Guizhou: But many others are composite crinoids (i.e. they transplant the crinoids from one slab to another), look at the composite ones below: For very large slab of crinoids, the original slab is normally broken into a number of pieces and glued together. For better presentation, in some cases, the locals there would transplant the crinoids onto a large intact slab. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your red fez, I want it painted black No colors any more, I want them to turn black I see the ammolite twinkle from a store's orderly rows I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see the trilobites and they're all painted black With crinoids and my love, both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a baby keichosaurus it just happens everyday (with apologies to The Rolling Stones) 8 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm very fond of crinoids and i always paint them white. So when i look at rows of them, i feel the world's alright. I have some teeth of dinosaurs, the colour of my Fez, It's realistic - whatever anybody says. The ammolite, I leave alone, it's pretty as it is, The trilobites I colour green, it really is the bizz. I don't have a keichosaur but i would paint it grey. I tried to paint my wifey but it made her run away. 10 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
