Dicranurus monstrosus Trilobite - real or fake?
AchillesWF posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello experts - I am considering purchasing this Dicranurus monstrosus Trilobite fossil. I have some good images of the specimen, so am wondering if anyone here can help me sort out if it is potentially a fake or not. To me, the way it is attached to the matrix, the look of the end of one of the 'horns' and the way the Trilobite shell is kind of 'muddy' looking is making me wonder... I've been looking for a specimen of this type for a while so I am hoping no one sees any reason to avoid purchasing. Thanks!- 11 replies

I found this around an abandoned mine in Middle Arizona where I gather up mineral specimens I carve into statues out of honey calcite orange calcite and what is generically called Mexican Onyx in yellows whites and root beer. Matching eggs on line have only been found in Colorado as far as I can see and I dont think we have egg bearing shelves here so I am skeptical of my find. I really wish I can find out if it is real and what species it is. Curious is that there are some paint splashes of tan on part of it so its been around contemporary modern human kind activity. Dimensions are 9" x 7.5" weighs around 22 - 25 lbs Tell me what you think and Thank you in advance!

Hi all, I'm from Singapore, and i would really appreciate if you could help me to take a look at this photo of a said authentic prehistoric dinosaur egg from China. The seller is from Singapore, and he claims that he bought this item from an antiques shop in China many years ago, and that antique shop has since shut down. Is this a genuine dinosaur egg? There are two eggs. kindly refer to the attachment photos Please do share your expertise!! Thank you in advance!
