Is this Fezouata hurdiid fake?

Hello guys, so this specimen came up on the internet for sale. It is apparently a Aegirocassis benmoulai from the one and only Fezouata formation in the Draa Valley in Morocco. I am not trained with dealing with these types of specimens but what are the chances it is the real deal/thing??60186fd2281d2_Screenshot_20210201-1610192.png.0cff6ac2dd8cd46170ec516a1750e653.png60186fddeaad7_Screenshot_20210201-1610382.png.44863efcc26bbe55ea772a86b82d0ba4.png60186fe893d51_Screenshot_20210201-1610432.png.5c77c00ff7f7a7bcf2bc684eb9403c23.png60186ff4ad1cb_Screenshot_20210201-1610462.thumb.png.6e19e16305c6d1ba1cb3092bb54743c3.png601870032fb32_Screenshot_20210201-1610482.thumb.png.48e9c5a21f6deda654b22156b1cd3b3c.png

I saw that one. I've been seeing others lately too (maybe all from the same seller?) but they keep getting bigger! I am no expert on spotting Moroccan fakes but nothing jumps out at me as a red flag here. It has a general shape without being too miraculously detailed, and it has been reassembled and no attempt seems to have been made to restore or disguise the repairs, which in my mind seem like good signs.

Let's see what others think.
