Jackson g Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 No, please stay away from purchasing specimens like these, unless you want it as a poor quality replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would have to agree, this is fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bguild Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Yep, fake. There are multiple giveaways, but when you see those crazy etching marks all around the specimen from “preparation” it’s a giant red flag. With rare, expensive spiny trilobites you typically wouldn’t find such a hasty looking prep job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Also, if the seller posts an out-of-focus photo so you have trouble making out the details that would tell you if its real or fake, then he's probably trying to hide something from you. 1 Mark.

Postman4u Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 OK, I can see this is most likely fake, so how much can I sell this this for or is there any market for fakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are mass produced, this one does not look like it is of great quality and I believe there is very little to no money to be made from selling it.

The easiest way to find out is post it for sale as a fake and price it cheap enough and see if you get any bites... once you get enough posts there is a for sale section in the forum.
