Brevicollis Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Hello, I saw this Discosauriscus pulcherrimus on auction today and wondered if its real, partially reconstructed, or completly fake. If I wont find anything for my collection on a fossil and mineral convention this week, I plan on bidding for it, as one of them is still missing in my collection... The head looks a bit weird, maybe a bit crushed sideways or repaired, as im not seeing the typical growth lines and seperate bones of the skull. Or maybe its just bad preserved I dont know, ribs, chest area look fine to me, but im a bit concerned about the back legs. They look like if they were carved or formed or reconstructed, maybe some good ol grinder preparation was done on them. Let me know what you think about this one, if I should think twice about buyind it, or staying completly away from it. Its apparently from Letovice, Czechia, was found in 1993 according to the label on the back, and is from the permian.

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Others with more expertise will hopefully chime in, but it looks good to me. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevicollis Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 If so, someone probably made the best deal of his life, as it got sold very cheap.
