<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 2846054, member: 13719&quot;]I was looking at some trilobites on eBay and came across this one. A type for don&#039;t have and was at a decent price. After I bought it and if was shipped, I looked through the sellers stock and noticed some looked oddly similar. It was because there were similar, cast replicas.&nbsp;&nbsp; The seller had it listed as such at the end of the description. Went to read the entire description of me me and sure enough it&#039;s a cast replica.&nbsp; I decided to keep it instead of returning it as a study piece to help recognize fakes and as a reminder to slow down and read full descriptions.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s feels a bit light, has a funny smell (from the paint) and you can see where the paint goes off the trilobite, particularly off the tail and on the left side. You can see soft areas and what looks similar to casting bubbles on coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lesson learned </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]674527[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
