Here is a few more shots of it. I did pay for it. I would like to bring it back. But not really sure how to explain to the guy I bought it from why I think it's fake. But not really sure what to say? I paid 50 for it..😓

Most definitely a complete mold. The lack of anatomical detail, lots of air pockets and the lack of clear separation between the different elements of the exoskeleton are the most obvious tell-tales.

If this was sold as a genuine specimen, you should not be happy. Bear in mind however, that sometimes the seller is fooled in much the same way as you were. Perhaps the seller too, thinks this is a genuine specimen.

Sometimes these things are sold as being 'casts'.
