Hello,

I saw these pictures online and I was wondering if it was a real fossil or not,because I saw alot of fake ones.

Can somebody give me a clue?

Appreciate it.

Regards

The spines look carved to me. :(

This species is almost invariably found without spines so the Moroccans add them. 

Here is mine :

Very badly carved spines and the front one is connected to the anterior margin and not to the glabella as it should be.

The one you post is a much better job, but I still think the spines have been added from where I have added the red lines. The bits I've circled may possibly be the remains of the original spines.

I agree, part of this specimen is real, but it is a compound and rather badly assembled.

Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!
