Are my fossiles genuine or fake?
buraqing34 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, im new in fossiles collecting, absolute new beginner. I wonder if my fossiles are genuine or fake, i was so proud of my collection but after i learned that there are many fake Moroccan trilobites on sale, i had suspicions. There are some holes in trilobite and some stuff on it, could be glued which is fine because its age matters to me most, it could be glued no problem. I put them under a plastic sheet but if you wish i can take them out to take better pictures. -

Hey everyone! I recently acquired this oyster from Tulear province, Madagascar. The seller has listed it as Rastellum carinatum, but doing any research online, I’ve only found other sellers selling similar fossils. I did come across a Wikipedia article for Agerostrea sp. It appears to be the same shell, and it lists it as occurring in rocks that are Maastrichtian age from Madagascar. Are these the same species just under different names or are they separate? If so, what genus does my specimen belong too? Any response would be greatly appreciated from you guys, we’ll see how challenging this might be to figure out. Thanks again -Nick
