Large Yongshunensis, Rough Prep or Partially Faked?

[Kurufossils]

I will be receiving soon what looks to be a large youngshunensis trilobite, while I am aware of fakes from china I'm not sure if specimens of this trilobite like this just have real rough prep work done to them or if maybe there is some sort of carving involved. Any knowledgeable feedback to whether its a keeper or not will be greatly appreciated, always wanted to nab one of these.

@Sinopaleus @piranha are the only two so far I've seen with these specimens so far, any option will be greatly appreciated if possible.

Yes, this is an authentic specimen.  The ghost-like appearance is typical for many of these.  The current classification is Asaphopsoides yongshunensis. 

They are also sometimes referred to as Xiangxiia yongshunensis Liu 1982, but Peng 1990 reclassified it as a junior synonym of Asaphopsoides Hupé 1955.
