Frank Menser Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 With all the talk of Moroccan fakery, I figured I'd share this Cambropallus I picked up many years ago at ART BY GOD a dealer based in Miami.This 5 1/2" trilobite has had no repairs, restoration, paint, glue, or anything. Not so pretty as the ones you usually see for sale but its 100% real. The patina of Limonite unfortunately photographs much redder and yellow (depending on where) than it is, so I photoshoped in an attempt to make the colors more true to life. Of course once ya start playing these things can get a little out of hand, so.... p Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Move over, Andy Warhol! This may be goofy, but they actually look like an idea for a forum header image. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah, kind of takes me back to my hippie days Changing the colors also brings out some interesting fossil details not readily visable in normal coloration.
