JojoMozza Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'd like to buy these three trilobites on eBay and the auctions ends in less than 30 mins. Here are the photos. Are there any resorations on the, both? The seller says that they are both 100% natural and wants $27 for the first two and $24 for the last one. Is that a fair price? Thanks!

ynot Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 They are poorly prepped and look like some touchup painting was done to all. The second one the genial spines are just shaped matrix. Only if they are real cheap. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Fossildude19 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Aside from poor prep, I don't think there was much done to these, aside from the pigment added, as Tony says. If they aren't too expensive, ... go for it.

FossilDudeCO Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 just a reminder, the forum does not do appraisals of fossils. If you are happy with the price that is really what matters And as Tony stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDudeCO Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 PM incoming @JojoMozza I have an Onnia like in your second picture. Nowhere near the best, but it is 100% natural with no paint or sculpting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Too late now, but looks obvious to me that the 1st and 3rd trilo have had some bad repair on them. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
