Top Trilo Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I don't think turtles were around the same time as trilobites which makes it a fake. And the tail looks very long for a turtle 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

jpc Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 This one made laugh out loud. Totally Fake. Trilobites died out a long time before turtles evolved. Sorry you paid half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabRatKing Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 This is actually a very well known fake. The turtle itself is a cast of a cast of a cast of a green river specimen, if I remember properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Can you get a refund for this? Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
