Real or Fake Phacops/Eldredgeops fossil?

[75millionyearsago]

Hey all! I’m looking for confirmation that this little guy is real, (or the unfortunate confirmation that it is fake)

 

Inspection with jewelers lenses showed no small holes from resin casting, and theres quite a bit of detail around the eye-lenses and cephalon of the trilobite. Plenty of imperfections along the thorax too- the exoskeleton is slightly shiny (but not too much so) and all around it gives a lot of promising suggestions of a real fossil. I was able to ID the genus, which also seems promising. 

 

now, the bit that gets me is that i got it for [price redacted]. Something in my gut feels wierd that a 1.5 inch phacops/eldredgeops was so cheap. I guess i’m looking for some other trilobite-lover opinions on if it is real or not.

 

i’ve also got a nice, flattened bed of Elrathia kingi trilobites. They vary in size and i’m like, 99.99% sure they are authentic due to the damage, sheen of the exoskeleton, overlapping, etc, but again it was only [price redacted], and was in a shop full of blatant fakes. Wanted to check in case!
 

photos attached!

Real, but not an Eldredgeops.

A common Moroccan phacopid (location and eye lens count can better determine which taxon) and cheekless Elrathia kingii from Utah. Both are exceptionally common stock in rock shops as they are cheap to acquire in bulk. I removed the prices as that is immaterial to determining authenticity.
