LARGE DOUBLE PARALEJURUS AND ODONTOCHILE TRILOBITE Alnif, Morocco DEVONIAN PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago
Probably one of the largest Devonian Era trilobite display specimens we've seen, this large and impressive NATURAL double fossil features two different types of trilobites. The rock alone is massive and when standing on one end as shown in the first image, it is truly breath-taking to see. The two trilobites are passing like the Barry Manilow song, "We're two ships that pass in the night..." or in this case, "We're two invertebrates that pass in the muck and we smile when we realize we're stuck...". (sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Both of these trilobites are in their natural state and color. The Odontochile is huge at 4" long if straightened. The Paralejurus is also a full size and large example. The Odontochile sports the highly prized orange eyes and fine lens detail is present as shown above. The relief and positioning of each of these large bugs is extremely dramatic,'as found' and completely natural. The limestone matrix is genuine and original. THIS IS NOT A COMPOSITE AND BOTH TRILOBITES WERE FOUND AS SHOWN. Less than 1% restoration to this spectacular large specimen!!!
This double species trilobite specimen was professionally prepped with high-tech micro-blaster equipment in our lab in Morocco. Dozens of hours went into the task of completely freeing the areas shown. Highly recommended and a great value for those collectors or curators that demand the superb display specimens of size.
MASSIVE AND IMPRESSIVE NATURAL DOUBLE SPECIMEN OF TWO DIFFERENT TYPES! 8.5” by 5”, Paralejurus is 3" in length, Odontochile is 4" in length $595 TR1502 Actual Item - One Only |
