Innocentx Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Too many novice hunters are suffering from this affliction, and some get bent out of shape when told they're wrong. I do read some funny stuff on here. I remember what one guy said when asked what size his fossil was, "about as big as a size 10 shoe". It cracked me up.

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Seriously?! Do some sellers really think customers are that gullible to believe that a weirdly-shaped rock is a Gorgonops skull? Oh boy... 1 Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

A while back out of curiosity I asked the seller to give some sort of explanations ...not because I was interested, but because I was confused about the listing...definitely looked like a rock. I was trying to give the seller the benefit of the doubt. She was kind and got back to me. After the seller answered a few of my questions, I received all kinds of offers just from not answering...then at the end I was told that if I didn’t jump on the deal fast...it would sell...

Good thing they got to someone who could really identify them Ive always heard the quickest way to the heart was they stomach 1 Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 All I would like to know, is how sellers come to the conclusion of these IDs? Pareidolia, pure ignorance or pure greed? No matter what the case, because the fact is that the loser in the end will always be the buyer! Thanks for posting my friend Frank! I was outraged, but I also laughed with all this! Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone guy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Ouch. These are ugly. The dinosaur organ is almost believable, because I'd imagine preserved organs would look messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Let's hope the buyers of these "treasures" are the same individuals that spend six pages of threads on the forum insisting that their ordinary weathered rock is a priceless rare fossil.
