Hello! I’m looking for some validation on this trilobite. I didn’t see anything that screamed fake but would also like to know for sure. Thank you!

Photos are blurry. Retake them outside of the vehicle in daylight, with a focus on the eyes for at least one photo.

Still blurry, still in your vehicle.

Getting the details on the eye lenses in proper light would likely be required. I can tell it has been painted to mask a rough prep, though.

Looks real but poorly prepped. The crack in the matrix seems to go through the fossil as well but the paint is thick and your pictures are out of focus. This is how they find them, they break rock until they see a cross section, then glue the pieces together and prep to level of the fossil.
