Brevicollis Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Hello, I saw this lizard in amber, apparently from tibet wich im not sure, for sale today and wondered if its real, or just another poor lizard drowned in modern resin. Thanks ! My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : I'm just a young guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Without at least a view using a uv light, I don't think there's any way to really be sure if it's real or not. Not based on those pics. Lizard kind of looks posed. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyw Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I’m very dubious. Tibetan amber is mostly cloudy and orangish colored. A lot of clear pieces that are marked Tibetan is really reworked baltic amber. So without u.v. Pictures I’m thinking it’s a modern false piece…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3gal0don_M4n Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 In all honesty, it feels very off. I don’t particularly trust anything about it, and the lizard, as mentioned by daves64, feels very posed. I personally would stay far away from it, and the seller. “Deep words go here”- Me, 3/9/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
