snolly50 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Yes, an "as found" fossil; I see no reason to doubt it. 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Real plate of Lycoptera fish fossils. Very common. Probably Lycoptera davidi.

TriVeratops Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) real, but “enhanced” with watercolor or similar paint to increase contrast. The colors don’t closely follow the fin structure and one fin (third pic from bottom) is completely unpainted. I had a specimen that was retouched in this way. The caudal fin is usually a good tell. the preppers tend to be very sloppy about following the anatomy of the fin rays.

Randyw Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I’m with @TriVeratops. It’s color enhanced. I can see multiple errors where they were sloppy coloring it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
