indominus rex Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I found this while scrolling through an auction site and was wondering if it was real. I have no info on it and was hoping if someone can tell me if it looks authentic or not. Regards. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils.

Seguidora-de-Isis Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 This "cambropallas" is not of God... Escape from this my friend indominus rex, and save your money for when you can find a specimen that is 100% real. 1 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!

Haravex Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Maybe I would recommend still posting pictures here of your new potential specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I agree with the rest, looks fake. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch1979 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Looks very terrible - even if it would be real. One of the things that sometimes can help you identify real from fake trilobites is the amount of detail. But really, I can't make it up from that only picture. For cambropallas especially, it helps even more to confirm if it has a counterpart sold with it - hard to fake both sides (and regular they don't remake the counterparts) Here some pictures from how a real cambropallas looks like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
