Paradoxides Trilobite from Cambrian Morocco

This trilobite is colloquially called Paradoxides, and is a member of the Order Redlichiida, Family Paradoxididae. It comes from an unidentified Cambrian locality in the Sahara Desert of Morocco. This specimen is some 90% real, with restoration mainly on the genal spines. This is as good as they get. The so-called Paradoxides of Morocco is probably the world’s most prevalent fake fossils, albeit, the fakes are very impressive.
