Fellow members, I have been offered this Dicranurus. At first glance it appears to be well prepped etc. with no signs of obvious fractures etc. As one should be on guard when purchasing Moroccan material, I would like to seek counsel / opinions / another pair of eyes regarding this specimen which I have been offered. Can anyone see any signs of repair and / or restoration? Thankyou in advance, much appreciated. 7382B30E-FC78-42BF-AD84-380811D50D9E.mov

Hi everybody, I am Alex from Belgium. Currently teacher in Sciences. I am Citizen entomologist and come back to that great hobby that is Paleo. I just came back from a nice trip in the Frasnien in Belgium with other AGAB members. Second trip on the field, so I need now to read and read more and more about how to prepare what I bring back home. Hope I can find some good advices here and maybe good networks. Best regards, ACIPO

Hi. Another post from me about trilos! I bought this a while back and it was labelled as Gerastos granulosus, but I have another of this species and it certainly isn’t that, ... any clues? Some sort of Phacops ?

Paleozoic rock. I found this looking back through some scrap rocks. I think this is a stone I found some crinoids, brachiopods, horn corals, and a trilobite in before. .75 inches long (sorry for not including a scale in the picture) thanks!

Acadoparadoxides levisetti. authentic ?
Paleorunner posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I have seen online this Acadoparadoxides levisetti (Middle Cambrian), from the Wawrmast Formation, Alnif (Morocco). 14cm I was wondering how much restoration there is, or if it's all a cast. @Kane @piranha @aeon.rocks- 5 replies

Big difference between an airbrush and air eraser O_o
joshuajbelanger posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
I have been trying my hand at prepping for a few months now. Started with some nice air scribes, then tried air abrasion. I bought a cheap badger airbrush and threw tons of media at fossils. To me, it seemed that no matter what the pressure or sand agent, I saw absolutely no results. So, I bought a AEC and had it overnighted, hoping I was just using the wrong tool. Well, absolutely I was using the wrong tool. The moment I got the AEC up and running, I finally understood why it's called an air eraser. Slowly, but surely, the tough dolemite matrix melted away, as if it was being miraculously erased. HOTDOG! I thought these calymenid trilos I found in Kentucky were gonna be a wash...but dag nabbit, the details are coming out! This isn't the final prep, and I don't have any before prep pics, but this is a huge improvement. This trilo was just showing 1/4 of one side of its body. I didn't even know if it was fully intact...sure is! Even pulled out both the eyes. Super stoked guys. Level up-points into prep skill. BAM -
I was fiddling around with my photo program and look who turned up!

Good afternoon fossil hunters, I was wondering if this trilobite is authentic and perhaps any other details would be great! THANKS!

I went to Mineral Wells fossil park a few months back and I have a couple of finds that I'm unsure of. This is one of those finds. Is it a piece of a trilo or something else? Thank you.

Fun playing with the microscope camera, yet disappointing. After putting it under the microscope, I am pretty sure this Meadowtownella crosotus I found this summer is only a partial.

Ok, great success identifying the mystery fish from yesterday. Up next... this beautiful trilobite from places and ages unknown.

I saw this and thought there was some resemblance to trilobites. I don't know what it's called. Thought I would see what the thoughts were.
