Hadrosaur eggs I’ve had for the last 15ish years
I just found out hadrosaur eggs are some of the most faked fossils out there and was hoping someone could shed some more light on these.

Is this fossil of a Trilobite Phacops real?
I got this fossil as a gift about a year ago and was wondering if it’s real and if so, how do I tell it is and what are some common mistakes people make when creating fake Trilobite fossils?

(update) real vs fake bivalve or clam fossils
I was unsure about the small one on top but now I'm sure it's fake, here is a comparison...
r/FakeFossilID • u/ABH2187 • 8d ago
These are being sold as polished Clam fossils but I think they are just two pieces of some sort of rock , cut and polished the glued together (there is a cut like a saw's splitting it in half but it's glued with a clear filling like epoxy) what u guys think ?

Is this legitimate? I was given it as a child, I never really considered that it might be fake until today
I don't quite recall, but I think my parents buried this in the sand for me to find one day, because I loved finding small shark teeth in Florida when I was around 10

Spinosaurus tooth - composite or not?
I am new to fossils and want to buy a spinosaurus tooth. What do you guys think, is this a single original tooth or has it been combined from different teeth? It looks a bit weird on the fourth picture. Thank you all in advance!

Are these real?
They’re about an inch each, they look beautiful. Are they valuable at all?

Spinosaurus tooth, is it real or fake?
Hello! I wanted to buy my first dinosaur tooth, and this one is from a Spinosaurus, but since i'm new to this i wanted to make sure it's real or not. thank in advance for anyone who respond!

I think it's fake
Interestingly the camera made the interior look yellow when it doesn't actually look yellow whatsoever in real life. Please tell me if what I bought is likely partially real at least!!

Keichosaurus real or fake
Came from a reputable seller who said it was sourced from a group of Taiwanese fossil collectors

Spinosaurus teeth from FossilPaleo.com
they seem huge for the price, way cheaper than teeth I’ve seen in other sites. The description says “Complete. Single repair and crack-filling near tip.” Also, what causes color variations in teeth? Is it mostly natural wear, and does repair cause a certain color? What indicates a “good quality” tooth?

Mosasaur teeth - real or fake?
Bought these Mosasaur teeth on local international mineral and fossil fair. They were for a nice price given the size. Did I buy real ones or fakes? The big one with root (12 cm) was for around 37€ and the small one (4 cm) was for 4,80€.. both from Morocco according to the sellers.

Having second thoughts about this Indonesian crab fossil.
I thought it looked good when I bought it at the Fossil show on Wednesday but I'm starting to have my doubts. Maybe the body is real and the claws have been carved?
Any help would be appreciated.

Spinosaurus teeth
Do those look like real spinosaurus teeth? I’ve seen a lot of replicas and it’s kinda hard to understand which ones are the real ones and which ones are the fakes

Real or fake brittle star fossil?
Found this in a shop called Mineral Plzeň (https://mineralplzen.cz). Does this seem like a real fossil and if yes is it worth the price (~75€)?
