Hi Greg,

Very nice specimen. It was obviously used as a tool. :)

Now this has me wondering - could tool markings be faked to increase
the value of a specimen? Is there any definitive way to test tool
markings to see how old they are?

This isn't in response to Greg's specimen, it's just a general
question while we are on the subject.

Best regards,

MikeG
