nala Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I could have this very nice looking Trilobite ID "ogyginus corndensis (murchison 1839) from gilwern hill, powys, wales. lower llanvirn, darwilian, ordovician"but i have a doubt,the sample seems for me too perfect to be real,the matrix is very light brown,could it be a fake?I only have this picture ,an Opinion? The prodactylioceras davoie Ammonite lower Pliensbachien carixien Cote d'Or - France on the side looks good for me but the trilobite is too perfect to be real,isn't it?Museum shop trilo resine cast?

fossils-uk Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 This is definitely not an ogyginus cordensis from gilwern hill. It could be a ogyiocarella from builth wells. but the head looks compacted on the body for the number of thorax segments. I suspect that it is a replica and not a genuine fossil. but a better closer image in natural daylight will highlight the rock its sat in as well and i will then be definitely be able to help you then as i have seen many many UK and british fossils. good luck 1 Link to post Share on other sites

How did you determine that it is a resin mold? to my inexperienced eye it looks real and I would like to know how you found out it was a mold Link to post Share on other sites

It has holes left from air bubbles. 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
