    Is it Asaphus popovi?

    Hi! I purchased this trilobite on ebay. Information of this asaphus provided is name: Asaphus kowalewskii Locality: Volkhov river, St. Petersburg region, Russia. Age: Aseri Horizon, Middle Ordovician But i think it's eye is less evolved than kowalewskii So, i think it is Asaphus popovi which is intermediate of cornutus and kowalewskii.(But i don't have accurate information of popovi) what do you think about it???

    Asaphus knyrkoi or plautini?

    Greetings everybody. I came across this Asaphus that is for sale. Seller states its Knyrkoi, I belive that its Plautini, am I right?
  3. Greetings everyone. I was wondering what is the best glue I can use to glue the eyes of this asaphus that I just received broken due to bad packing fro the seller? Also what is the best way to do it?

    Asaphus lepidurus

    From the album: Purchased Trilobites of Isotelus2883

    Probably from the Aseri/Asery of the St. Petersburg region. There was not a lot of information given, but it was a quite aesthetically pleasing specimen.
  5. Isotelus2883

    Asaphus kowalewskii

    From the album: Purchased Trilobites of Isotelus2883

    This one is from the Aseri/Asery level in the St. Petersburg region. This one is one of my higher quality pieces. View of thorax and pygidium.

    Asaphus kowalewskii-view of cephalon

    From the album: Purchased Trilobites of Isotelus2883

    This one is from the Aseri/Asery level in the St. Petersburg region. This one is one of my higher quality pieces. View of cephalon.
  7. I am thinking of buying this asaphus. I just need some last opinions before I do so. It stated to have around 1-2% restoration. It's around 10cm long. Thank you all in advance.
  8. I want to buy this asaphus expansus fossil and wanted some opinions before I do so. Does it seem like a nice one or is there any reason I should pass. There is some restoration work but not much and the eyes are real.
  9. Hi All, I have recently started my fossil collection, I am still figuring out what I really enjoy and what fits in my budget, but atleast trilobites really got my interest. I have some experience in collecting in general and I decided to buy nice specimens, especially for the common trilobites, rather than starting off with less preserved ones and having to upgrade them in the future. I want to share my first two trilobites: If anyone has any opinions and information about them, please do not hesitate to do so! My knowledge is still small in the fossil world. This one was sold as a Morocops Granulops (Devonian), excavated in Jbel Zguilma Marocco. The second one is a Asaphus lepidurus (Middle Ordovician), excavated in the Putilovo quarry Russia.
  10. I don't buy many fossils and most that I have bought, or that have been bought for me, were from gift shops and the like when I first started collecting. However, for my birthday a couple of years back, my wife surprised me with this plate of a pair of Russian trilobites. They are Asaphus Intermedius and Asaphus Punctatus. I was overjoyed! From my meager knowledge at the time, I thought that they were completely real. I knew to look out for fakes (i.e. carvings, plaster/resin cast, etc.), or heavily composite specimens from other areas, and since these came from Russia, I thought I was in the clear. My wife also spoke to the seller, and from my understanding, they were very helpful and seemed sincere. They also disclosed that some of their specimens do have a little restoration/repair work, such as the crack on the back of my plate and had a money back guarantee. Fast forward a couple of years... With my birthday coming up and me working on setting up a new display cabinet I got to thinking about this plate of trilobites. Then I remembered that these were from Russia, and that I read somewhere that things coming from there tend to be heavily restored with resin and the like. I have also read that you can tell by using a UV light (black light) to shine on them and any resin used will glow. I don't have one handy, but will pick one up the next time I'm out to test with. So I wanted to poll the community and see what people thought. Are these real? Fake? Heavily restored? I just realized that I didn't include some form of measurement or something for scale in the pics... Each trilobite is roughly 3.5 inches long x 2 inches wide (9 cm x 5cm). The whole plate is 5 inches x 6 inches (12.5cm x 15cm). Front view: Back View: Notice the glued crack... Side Views: Possible restored area on pygidium? Appears to be a slightly different shade than rest of trilobite. Resin? I can provide more pics if needed. And include a scale.
