Large plate of Eocrinoid Ascocystites, needs a closer look


Recommended Posts

There is a plate of 30 or so of the ascocystites being offered for a rather princely sum. Stated as collected near Kaid Errami, Morocco. Here is the entire plate and a close up. It looks un-fossil-like to me. Seems unlikely, but could they be real?

In my opinion, they started with "something". Than the took biiiig pots of colors and started the art work...

I've seen it too, and you can see many of these plates on that auction platform.
Possibly  they are real, but there is a lot of paint on top. :unsure:

Agree with all the other remarks above.

Especially the run away part.

I would not buy it cause of all the paint, but it is pretty.

I agree that it's pretty, that's why I would buy it (at a reasonably affordable price). :rolleyes:

It would be beautiful decorating the living room...:wub:

Tell them you'll give them $20 if they remove all of the paint. :)

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

I don't think they will accept the offer, the current bid is close to the four-digit figure, in dollars. :trilosurprise:
This living room decoration is going to cost someone dearly. :s_confused:
