Over the years I have found it difficult to pass up a nice trilobite. Several were without identification or background information; I gambled that I would be able to identify these trilobites using information on the internet (images mostly). I am attaching images of those that I believe to be Devonian trilobites. I would most sincerely appreciate corrections and/or further species identification from those with more expertise. The first image is of a trilobite that I acquired at an antique store in Alaska that was liquidating an estate with a private museum. Through comparison with images on the internet, I have tentatively identified it as an Acanthopyge trilobite. The second image is of a partially entrolled trilobite that I have preliminarily identified as an Asteropyginae trilobite (through images on the internet). The third image is of a Crotocephalina gibbus trilobite from the Devonian in Alnif, Morocco. The fourth image is of a Gerastos trilobite from the Devonian in Zguid, Morocco. The fifth image is presumably a Metacantina trilobite from the Devonian in Morocco. The sixth image is presumably a Paralejurus trilobite from the Devonian in Morocco. The seventh image is presumably a Phacops trilobite from the Devonian. The eighth and final image is of a Proetus granulosus trilobite from the Devonian in Morocco. Any further information/discussion about these trilobites would be appreciated.

Hello together, I just acquired this nice little trilo from morocco, by the name of Crotalocephalina gibbus. Besides asking myself what the actual name is (I found Crotalocephalina, Cheirurus and Crotalocephalus) I wonder if the reddish parts are natural. Most Trilos of the kind I saw are rather greenish, I wonder if these colours represent different oxidation levels of iron, or maybe artificial alteration. Thanks in Advance, J

Real or fake Crotalocephalina
Diplocaulus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I bought this trilobite not too long ago, and I'm not sure if it is real or not. It wasn't cheap, so I want to make sure I got my money's worth. Some pictures from the seller:- 4 replies
