280-million-year-old fossil, Tridentinosaurus antiquus, which has long been thought to be an important specimen for understanding the evolution of early reptiles. The fossil, found in the Italian Alps in 1931, was believed to belong to the reptile group Protorosauria. However, a recent study published in the journal Palaeontology suggests that this fossil may have been partly forged. The revelation comes after researchers conducted a microscopic analysis of the fossil, revealing that the texture and composition of the material did not match genuine fossilized soft tissues. They also used ultraviolet (UV) photography to determine that the entire specimen had been treated with some form of coating material. The study's findings indicate that the body outline of the fossil was artificially created to enhance its appearance, misleading previous researchers.
