This little spherical trilobite is given to me as a gift by a French friend in an mineral and fossil exhibit in Beijing, who said it must be a Morocco ordovician species. Is it possible for me to get to know more here?

I would like to create a sculpture of this guy but not sure its name. Thanks

Edited : back then i wrongly ided the specimen. Not a Neseuretus, rather a colpocoryphe. That's always happening to me when processing older stuff... Hi all, Now and then we read topics about trilobites molting. While processing my trilos and entering them to my database, i noticed i never posted this one on TFF (or anywhere by the way). Some might find this one interesting (i do). So, here it is :Colpocoryphe rouaulti 's molting : you can see it got 2 bodies, the main one (old one) on the right and the new one attached to the head part.

Just finished prepping a damesella paronai from Shandong, China. The colors are so amazing I thought it worthy of a post. Photos are before and after prep.

Hi there everyone. I'm pretty new to this hobby and, as many of you, I'm interested in all kinds of old stuff. My question is probably very lame, but I found these specimens for sale in an online auction website and it doesn't seem genuine to me. Actually, I got the feeling it was "painted" or something like that. So, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Also, any tips on how to recognize real or false items via pictures would be extremely welcome. Thank you very much in advance, (Sorry for my bad English) Juliano

From the album: Trilobites
M. Devonian Hamar Laghdad Fm., Morocco Purchased (2018) -
Just beforehand my exit on the highway, I really needed to use the restroom, and pulled off at a rest area. This was quite lucky, since there was a very large piece of shale sitting in front. The whole thing was a giant hash plate. It was heavily weathered though and there were a bunch of fragments strewn around. I ended up finding quite a few nice pieces in the debris on the ground. Here's the rock and a closeup.

Nankinolithus Trilobite
FossilFrenzy posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey fossil friends! I decided not to get the cambopallas trilobite and instead found this nankinolithus and adore its body plan! What do you think?

I got a little curious with one of the pieces I won in the end of year auction. Got a bunch of nice stuff from @Pagurus & one was wrapped in foil (thought I got sent leftover turkey surprise or something). Nice sized chunk of rock from Deep Springs Road that had splits here & there. Anyhoo, back to the curious part. I tried (carefully) to split it along some of the areas & one small piece had what I originally thought at 1st glance was the impression of a gastropod until I looked again. Then I looked at the area it came off of & found the head (at least) of a small trilobite. I had to glue the right eye back on with a bit of rubber cement as I don't currently have any super glue. It literally fell off when I blew some dust off. I took a few pics, 2 of the impression & 3 more of the trilo-head, one showing the rock behind it more. Has some really nice definition on the eyes. 1st 2 pics are the impression. Can I get an I.D please?

I got this from the usual place but it came with very little info (the page might have had the info but I failed to write it down and now I can't find anything on it... I sense that it will be another one of those hours-long sleuthing sessions, so I thought it's easier to ask here ) All I know is, Tsinania sp, China. I gather it's Upper Cambrian. No idea of the formation or specific location within China. Very soft powdery matrix! I can try some better pics if required.

Hi, prob a newby question. But while I was trawling on the net, I noticed that Trilobites from different regions of the world are different colours. For eg: Morocco - black Russia - sandy brown China - sandy brown Is there a reason for this?
-
Hello! I just came across almost a complete hypostome and a larger wing of the mouth line on a smaller hash plate. Didn't know it until I broke down the matrix. The more I chip away at the plate the more minor trilobite pieces I am finding...which is not unusual. Is there any suggestions on how to categorize and store these??? Sorry for the snarge picture.... Still need lighting in my new manpad.

Hello to everyone, I was trying to put together a plan for a spring or summer trip hunting fossils. I am particularly interested in the animals of mahantango formation and would like to know if anyone is familiar with some public locations that allow people to hunt for the fossils from that formation, or at least do not prohibit this. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

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

I made another day at my favorite hunting site. A cold and wet day. Didnt score anything really noticable, but this fat boy : Ectillaenus giganteus, who is actually "giganteus", complete and not that streched !
-
This is not a perfect tooth but it’s all natural and massive. It has a gorgeous mottled blue and yellow color. I’m mostly interested in: crinoid specimens, shark and mammal teeth, and non-Utah trilobites. I’m also happy to look at other offers that don’t fit the above list.
