CROTALOCEPHALUS TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED

Atlas Mountain Range (Northern Sahara Desert), South Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

More and more as time goes by, quality trilobites from the Devonian limestone deposits of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco as getting harder to locate.  This stunningly large and beautifully preserved Crotalocephalus gibbus is quite a rare wonder and a must have for the collector demanding quality.  It has been micro-blasted and carefully hand-prepared for the best preparation of the creature.  Genuine limestone matrix is very large and the presentation and pose of this sizable example is duly impressive!  Its stunning black 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.
