Its real, the prep just is not great. Basically all of the inner whorls are carved/fabricated.

 

Oh, and for reference, its a Mortoniceras. You can google search and get an idea for what the inner whorls should look like. Its hard to find them around here where they actually make it to the center, they usually just disappear the closer you get
