EXPOSING THE TRUTH; ONE MINERAL FAKE, FRAUD OR FORGERY AT A TIME

Mosasaurus, not a mineral, but the fake fossils I keep laughing at during mineral shows

Mike, thanks for the e-mail.

I don’t pay much attention to fossils, I’m just not into them. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the way they look, I love to dig them up, but I just don’t get INTO them.

So, I stay away from proclaiming how fake the fakes are.
A readed named Mike sent me an e-mail showing me a real Mosasaur jaw (see below)

Versus, these things that look like fakes from 100 yards away…
Fake Mosasaur on eBay

I’ve sent out e-mails and phone calls to the dealers selling fake ones on eBay and if they don’t take them down by this weekend I’ll out them for you.

Just simply put…stay away from bulk fossils from Morocco. Buy from a quality dealer. Understand, good fossils are expensive, there is a lot of time and preperation put into real fossils. If you want something good, it isn’t cheap. If you want something cheap, it isn’t good. (unless that is the advertising price on The-Vug.com! =)
