drwalls84 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I am new to fossil collecting. I bought this at a rock and gem store in Atlanta. Can anyone tell me if this is real from these photos? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Looks like a real Moroccan trilobite to me. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drwalls84 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 I took a few more pictures and now I am more skeptical. The colors seem to be a mix of black and brown tints, is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It's real. It's unfortunately just very poorly prepared. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
