kevinnix Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I am looking for opinions on this poorly crafted reconstruction, I have been offered to purchase this piece, and would like to hear any comments, I am almost tempted to decline buying it, but, what have you got to say ? Is there a possibility of removing the fossil from the fake matrix? Is the fossil itself a fake ? Cheers, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It should be left in the matrix but maybe cleaned up a little around the edges to get rid of the marks, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) It certainly looks real but I'd never give an emphatic vote of confidence from a photo. Seen too many incredible works of art. And I see no reason to believe that the matrix is fake - it looks as real as the trilobite. Edited November 24, 2014 by Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
