AlexamenosWHG Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Hello friends! So, this seller is, well, selling this pterodactyl fossil. You friends taught me how to identify trilobite fossil casts so I'm here with hopes you can help with this one. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 You need much better up close photos. Run away if the seller refuses. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Fossildude19 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 3 of the exact same poor photos are not enough to make a determination one way or the other. Better pictures including close ups, as well as information on where it was found would be helpful. Keep in mind, you tend to get what you pay for.

Randyw Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I can't say from the pictures but I used to see casts very similar to this in the past. Better pictures are really needed though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
