Moroccan Trilobite - Legitimate?

Recommended Posts

Hi there.

This is my first post so please excuse me if it misses any guidelines.

I am currently in Marrakech and have found a local dealer specialising in fossils and geodes etc. I purchased a trilobite from him today.

I have heard all about the fake trilobites that are sold in Morocco but this one looks very authentic to my incredibly untrained eyes!

If it is real I would love to buy another. Tomorrow is my last day here.

If you could give your opinion on whether you think this looks real or not I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Chris

I can see no reason to doubt this piece. Enjoy.

Agreed... as far as I know, this type is not the kind they frequently fake.

And, we have the matching part and counterpart. ;)

That one is real. I use to buy lots of those way back when, when I used to be a dealer. That one you have is also a rather nice one too!

What about these, I'm paranoid about trilobites now?

You have no worries on any of these. They are 100% authentic trilobites.

For the first few pieces, Sahara Imports has very nice, legitimate trilobite auctions :).
