They are real, but heavily restored and painted. They are also poorly prepared. The middle may have its cephalon composited.

I would agree with @Isotelus2883, original but not high end...

Thank you @Isotelus2883 and @rocket.

For ID, can you please assist or should I post such in ID Forum?

Hi fellow paleos,

I would appreciate your feedback on the trilobites on this plate. Yes, there is restoration on these.


A draft ID is as follows:

Middle Devonian
Drotops Megalomanicus
Morrocco

Thank you much!

Can someone please provide Genus and Species on these?

They look like Drotops like you said, but considering size Hypsipariops is not impossible.

Drotops megalomanicus.  Unfortunately, these three specimens appear to be a composited assemblage.  More trilobites command more money....
