Davidevi82 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi all, i'm buying that trilobite but i'm not expert in cambrian morocco trilos. That one seem real with no restoration but i'm not sure. Also not sure about species. Can you help me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorp Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Not sure on the species, but need much closer photos to determine if there’s any restoration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I would love to see more photos of this bug. It seems to look pretty authentic, and if so, it's a fantastic prep job and a very nice specimen. 1 Jay A.

Davidevi82 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Here is an other image. I'm not sure about the "crack" strange that change colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorp Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hard to tell if the crack continues throughout the specimen. It does look like that area might have been restored though to cover up the crack. But besides that, the rest looks good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidevi82 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Last one, seems that some little part of the specimen near the crack has gone. But I don't notice restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorp Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 You can definitely see in that picture that the crack runs through the discolored area which still makes me think that area was restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Restored or not, I think that's a beautiful piece. I am a big fan of the color and the mottled look of it. Jay A.

aeon.rocks Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 A repaired crack - bug found in cross section, preped, glued back together, crack filled, perfectly normal and only way to find and prep some trilobites. Doesn't even qualify as restoration imho, but if so, it could be better done (invisible), doesn't look restored or painted (same glue color as on matrix edge)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
