haventbaptized Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hello guys, I recently bought a Trilobite from Ebay. The fossil is an Ellipsocephalus Hoffi trilobite from the Jince formation in Czech Republic. The measurements are : TRILOBITE LONG: 18 mm (Measurements in the widest) TRILOBITE WIDE: 11 mm (Measurements in the widest) MATRIX DIMENSIONS: 40x35x10 mm WEIGHT: 14g The seller which i bought it has 100% positive feedback. The price of the fossil without shipping was 6$. (which i think is odd) Do you think that it is fake or not? This is my first fossil and I am a bit anxious about it. Thanks in advance for your help.

abyssunder Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I agree with Auspex! There is no sign of fake.

Troodon Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Most of the trilobites you really have to concern yourself with are from Morocco although keep a watchful eye on all purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
