Crinoid - real, composite, or replica?

[Carboniferous320]

An acquaintance of mine bought this at the Tucson gem and mineral show two years ago.  He is now interested in selling and I am interested in buying.  The price seems fair but of course the big question....is it real?  I may add is it all real, is it a composite of different pieces, or is it a fabrication/replica?  The whole piece is close to 15 inches at the tallest point, and close to 13 inches at the widest point. Thank you for your help.

Looks like a Scyphocrinites elegans from the Late Silurian of the Erfoud area of Morocco to me. 

Not painted and dyed like some, but broken and cemented back together as is often the case due to the method of extraction. 

I think it's a pretty darned good one.

Can you post a photo of the entire slab and the back side.  Just looking to see if anything may be composited

I like it. Fractured, of course, but from the photos parts appear to match up.

Thank you for your help.  I will request pics of the whole slab and the back side and will post asap.  Thank you again!!
