Was doing some cleaning yesterday and rediscovered this lil guy, totally forgot I even had em!

I think I got him about 5 years at a local antique fair, so no clue where it came from or if it's even real...

Always eager to learn more!

Yes, real and quite common so no reason to fabricate them. If the pygidium has obvious ribbing along its flanks, then it is Flexicalymene ouzregui. If the pygidium area is smooth along its flanks, then it is Colpocoryphe grandis. Both come from Morocco.

Thank you! I'll have to give the little bugger a further looking over when I get home from work tonight
