Real or fake Crotalocephalina


Diplocaulus

Recommended Posts

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:

Looks completely real to me, - maybe some restoration or repair on some of the thoracic segments./spines.

Mostly a good one, I would think, but there may have been some fiddling with the pleural spines.
