Nice article. It would be interesting to have a peek into one of those 
fossil "preparation" warehouses.

You should do a follow-up article, analyzing what percentage of those 
fabulous Moroccan trilobites are complete fakes, painted, glued, plastered, 
and carved... has to be a nice big chunk of that $40 million dollar output, 
but is it 10% or 90%?

That's an article I'd love to read.

Cheers,
