Is this a completely original Keichosaurus or has been any manipulation / painting work done?

I'm not original with my question, but may this be a real Keichousaurus? (approx 7in /18cm)

Is the mosasaurus tooth real? If it is, what's a fair price for this lot?

Is this real? Even if it’s not I think I’ll get it because it’s so pretty and a nice price

This is real right?

I don’t know much about larger ammonites like this but the guy seemed very trustworthy and had an extensive collection. I just want to make sure it looks good before I spend good money on it.

Real Keichousaurus?

I thought about buying this Keichousaurus, but some parts look a bit fishy to me. What do you think?

Dragonfly fossil - websites legit?

hi y’all - I’m looking for a dragonfly fossil for a 50th birthday gift. I’ve found a couple of sites that have some listed. One site is mentioned on the u/tff_praefectus list Ive seen passed around, the other is not.

2 shown for sale here: https://davesrockshop.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Dragonfly

2 shown for sale here: https://www.stonesbones.com/fossils-specimens-minerals/fossil-insects/

Can anyone help me pick brown the 4 listed fossils or given me thoughts on how legit the Dave’s website is and how I would know those are authentic? I’ve also seen one at the natural history museum in Houston but they want $7k for it. If yall think that’s the only legit seller of the bunch, I’ll take that into consideration too. Thank you!!!

Anyone ever purchase a fossil from the seller Pioneer Fossils and Minerals on eBay? Are they reputable?
