Fake. It's highly compressed but not on the bedding plane.

Well I think that these 2 are fakes for the following reasons.

Image 1: The rear legs are to far up the spine, and the back plates go all the way down to the end of the tail.

Image 2: The shading of the back plates is wrong and the plates are all the same size.

Other than that I think that the specimens are composites of several species put together to make them appear more saleable. Such things should be banned from sale.

Regards

Mike

  • 3 weeks later...

I had a guy come up to me at the last show and asked what I thought of the trilobite he purchased. I said without a pause that he had a fake reproduction trilo. He seems kinda peeved. He said he paid a whole $10. for it. I just chuckled. I could tell he had just gotten it from a Chinese dealer across the isle from me. The dealer had a big box of the exact same ones, identical to one another.

You would think an entire box of them all the same size and position would have given him a clue.

When i went in the Ourika valley,i saw lot of sellers that sold the same kind of trilobite, in the same position. There were lots of different sizes, but each trilobite of the same category had exactly the same size, they were all very well polished, not natural at all.
