These impressive large trilobites are offered by Moroccan taxidermists and dealers in five different quality levels. (100% fake, 75% supplemented, 50% supplemented, maximum 25% supplement and 100% natural) The prices are designed accordingly. We only offer you specimens of Phacops rana that are supplemented by a maximum of 25%. This method, which is legitimate in the preparation of fossils, is said to lead to aesthetically better results and the prices are still manageable. Copies that are 100% original are traded many times more expensive.
