FossilFrenzy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hey fossil friends! I decided not to get the cambopallas trilobite and instead found this nankinolithus and adore its body plan! What do you think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Interesting fossil! It appears to be a Nankinolithus Trilobite of the Ordovician, from Yichang, Hubei, China or from Mecissi, Morocco. Any idea of the origin? It is quite rare to see a complete Trilobite Nankinolithus, which makes me rather mistrustful. Maybe with a little restoration: But to be sure, just examining the fossil in his hands with a magnifying glass. And more, in my opinion, if the price is good, then it will be a good buy. 5 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilFrenzy Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 I know appraisals are not allowed, but it's a fairly expensive fossil. Would any of you display it in your personal collection? I love the color and shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
