PARADOXIDES TRILOBITE - Anti-Atlas Mountain Range, South Morocco

CAMBRIAN PERIOD:  543 - 510 million years ago

There are three major locations in Morocco where Paradoxides are found.  One area is known for its orange specimens, one for the more rare dark brown specimens and one where the rare brownish black specimens are found.  This is one of those black examples and it is a beautiful and rare fossil Paradoxides.

Large areas of the original carapace are still intact and this wonderful specimen has only approximately 4% restoration.  This premium grade trilobite specimen is of the finest we currently offer and is highly recommended for its uniqueness and rarity. 

The vast majority of Paradoxides specimens on the market are either heavily restored or completely fabricated.  This specimen is a true rarity and of a type that is rarely encountered in any dealer's inventory.
