DatFossilBoy Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi. I saw this nice trilobite online and I was wondering If it was real. I can see details on the eyes,a good sign. What specie could it be? What do you think?Here are some pictures. Thanks so much. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Some of the pleural ribs appear sculpted. I would probably pass on this one. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 A species of scutellum? No idea actually. That's not the kind of detail you need to see in eyes, you need to see lenses (not all species have those). Looks heavily restored/ partial faked and it looks like they mixed some species. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 This chimera has a dalmanitid cephalon and an asteropygine pygidium (Coltraneia). Very scary! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
