LARGE BI-COLORED PROETUS TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Atlas Mountain Range, South Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

This is a fine example of Devonian species Proetus granulosus, a member of the Proetida order of trilobites.  The specimen has been meticulously lab prepped with micro-abrasive equipment to best expose the delicate detail.  The animal is complete with very high relief as it appears ready to leap off its original limestone host rock.  The granulose detail to the glabella is further beautified by a natural gold hue in the calcified shell.  This is a high-grade and wonderful specimen that is also quite large for this type.  

HIGHLY AESTHETIC AND LARGE EXAMPLE WITH TOUCHES OF GOLD!

3" long x 2.25" wide with original matrix, animal very large at 1.25" in length
