This is not the first time you warn us for counterfeit fossils from this particular person. How come you are so dead-certain these fossils are indeed fake?
I myself have some confidence in the fossils' authenticity as I see both part and counter-part of one of the specimens; something hard to reproduce artificially. Not getting into the detail of whether these fossils are real or indeed fake, it must be stressed that it cannot be told merely on the basis of these (low quality) photographs (at least, I lack the expertise to do so).
You are right that one should always be cautious for fakes when buying fossils (especially from notoriously 'infamous locations' such as China or Morocco), and it is good of you to warn us. But still I would like to be presented with a bit of evidence when one's accusing someone of counterfeiting. So please share...
