[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 8395120, member: 92655"]This bugged me. You guys are right. The examples I looked at on the web displayed similar characteristics….. So it drove me nuts and I had to come home and make an attempt at some close up shots of my slabbed AU53. I thought that would be a fairer representation since mine has similar wear to Jacks photo. The foot in Jacks photo simply appears to be crude lines scratched where the toes should be. On mine there is depth to the structure of the foot. It is far more three dimensional and shows depth to the features. [ATTACH=full]1489726[/ATTACH] The hand on my example has four distinct fingers holding the branch. Try as I might, I can only make out three fingers on Jacks example. And again, the fingers appear far more crude than the fingers on my slabbed piece.
