CROTALOCEPHALUS TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED

Atlas Mountain Range (Northern Sahara Desert), South Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

This specimen has a very seldom seen feature, a perfect display of its eye lens details.  The right eye lens is untouched and both eyes are genuine.  With no restoration and intact eyes, this is one rare example of the Crotalocephalus gibbus.  It has been micro-blasted for the best presentation of the creature.  Genuine limestone matrix is the highly prized yellow type.  Its stunning olive color is completely natural and the entire specimen is with NO RESTORATION!  A highly recommended genuine specimen.

A bizarre and fascinating species, the Crotalocephalus (Crotalocephalina)  trilobite is an ugly yet, desirable addition to any collector's cabinet.  With it's fat, bulbous snout, tiny eyes and strange raised surfaces down its lobes, the Crotalocephalus trilobite is one of our personal favorites.

RARE COLOR AND DEGREE OF PRESERVATION!
