A rangeomorph holdfast trace fossil from the Ediacara formation, Rawnsley quartzite of the Flinders Range, South Australia. This specimen is Medusina mawsoni, so called because it was until recently thought to be a jellyfish, but is now believed to be the attachment point of a fractal rangeomorph as Charniodiscus is the point of anchorage for Charnia sp. This one may have been the holdfast point for some species of Rangea. The diameter of the outer circle is 1.5 cm and the fossil is estimated to be 555 million years old.

The only information that I have on this one is that it's from Morocco, Middle Cambrian and Cambropallas. The piece is ~10.5" x 8. I only have the one picture, but might be able to get more if needed. As always, thanks!

Is this trilobite real or fake?
Gretch78 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Can anyone help me assess if this Trilobite fossil is true or fake? I bought it in an estate auction from a home in Hollywood with lots of significant art. I am looking very closely and see no bubbles, or other indicators that this is fake.

Paleorunner posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello. There are many indicators to be authentic, but being such a common piece to forge, I would like someone to confirm it for me. This is the description of the sale: ...size of 10.5 cm... a 13 x 9.5 cm concretion. ... it has restorations.

Gigantic Cambropallas with positive and negative (Real)
TeethCollector posted a topic in Member Collections
This is(or are) awesome gigantic Cambropallas from Jbel Wawrmast Formation, Morocco. The largest trilobite measures 6.5 inches long. The smaller one may measure 4 inches if complete. I know that there are a lot of fakes and heavily restored specimens for this type of giant trilobite. I can say this is absolutely real, cause I was not able to find any evidence of restoration or carving, and there are a lot of incomplete trilobite pieces in the matrix. These are quite heavy and large pieces, so none of my stands can support these. I should get a pair of new stands to display them.. Spines are preserved really well. Comparison with Phacops.sp . The Phacops looks like a baby.

Is this a real or fake Cambropallas trilobite?
Diplocaulus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I've been thinking of buying this Cambropallas trilo, but it seems fake to me. The price seemed a bit too low as well. Is it fake, or just a really good deal?

This Cambropallas trilobite looks pretty good to me, but curious if anyone sees any restoration I may be missing. Is this all natural? Thanks!

Cambropallas Trilobite
FossilFrenzy posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello fossil friends! While looking for some unique species to add to my collection, I came across this Cambropallas and was wondering if it looked mostly genuine or heavily restored? I know near complete specimens are hard to come by, but this seller says the trilobite was a part of their personal collection at one point and they took pride in it. Thank you

About Trilobites...metacanthina Or Hollardops? Andalusiana Or Cambropallas?
-Andy- posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I 've got questions about these trilobite species. Basically, when I search for Cambropallas, I also get search results of Andalusiana. Sometimes the results even show Cambropallas (Andalusiana). The same occurs for Metacanthina and Hollardops, where results of Hollardops (Metacanthina) occurs. Are Metacanthina and Hollardops the same family of trilobites? Which is the scientific name? Are Andalusiana and Cambropallas the same family too? Which is the scientific name? Thanks!
