Fellow members, I have been offered this Dicranurus. At first glance it appears to be well prepped etc. with no signs of obvious fractures etc. As one should be on guard when purchasing Moroccan material, I would like to seek counsel / opinions / another pair of eyes regarding this specimen which I have been offered. Can anyone see any signs of repair and / or restoration? Thankyou in advance, much appreciated. 7382B30E-FC78-42BF-AD84-380811D50D9E.mov

Trilobites from Morocco
A.Passero posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi fossil forum! I am hoping to get some opinions on the authenticity of these trilobite fossils. If this belongs somewhere else on the forum please let me know where so I can move it, or feel free to move it yourself. I know trilobites are often faked and that fakes are getting more sophisticated, and was looking for a second opinion and my local fossil seller/appraiser recommended this forum. I did tests myself (eye detail, uv reactivity, tooth test) and am fairly confident, but would love a second opinion. I would be happy to bring them to someone in the Toronto area in person if anyone here is in the area as well. If anyone wants pictures at other angles please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I'm sure this is a fake; I just want some verification before I saw it in half. As some of you know, I just bought a large collection of fossils and am trying to learn as much as possible. From my reading, I'm 99.9% sure this is a fake. I want to saw it in half to better understand how they are created. You can actually see where the trilobite is sunken down a bit. Looks like the real matrix was hollowed out and the fake trilobite was set inside. I appreciate any and all opinions! Thanks
