Fossildude19 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Welcome to the forum. There may be parts that are real, but usually they are heavily "restored".

jpc Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 when Tim says "they", he means these particular Moroccan trilobites, not all ebay trilobites. Your photo is a bit fuzzy to be able to scrutinize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 when Tim says "they", he means these particular Moroccan trilobites, not all ebay trilobites. Your photo is a bit fuzzy to be able to scrutinize it. Thanks for clarifying that, JP. Yes, I meant the fossils of the genus/species Cambropallas andalusiana from Morocco. They can range from partially restored, to partially composited, to complete fakes. Check yours over, looking for air bubbles or other signs of fakery, as spelled out HERE. Unfortunately, your pictures are too small and blurry to make any reasonable ID if it is fake.
