The seller said that this specimen was restored. I would like to know what his restoration plan was. Did it mean that originally there were two separate specimen matrices; then these two specimen matrices were glued together into one? And then polished and colored to have the same matrix structure?

These look carved, (sculpted) to me.

I would stay away.

 

It is likely a composited piece, and poorly done.

The dots on the trilobite in the reverse color image might be air bubbles from casting with resin. 

Stay away from Moroccan combo pieces like this.
