CRYPHINA TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Mt. Issoumour - Atlas Mountains, Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395-345 million years ago

If you have been wishing to add a supreme trilobite to your collection but don't want to take out a home equity loan (or another one) then here is a super grade Devonian trilobite at a very reasonable price for the features it presents.  The Cryphina trilobite's main diagnostic feature is the tiny snout projecting out from its cephalon (head).  This example begs for close inspection as its preservation and colors are as good as it gets!  Check out the eyes!!!

This little gem is 100% NATURAL with no restoration.  Most impressive is its intense and genuine olive green body contrasting in a very breath-taking manner with the original bright baby pink limestone host rock in which it was found from this famous region known for this color.  It was professionally prepared with high-tech micro-blaster equipment and the end result was nothing less than spectacular!  The articulation of this specific example is top notch as it appears to emerge from the rock and begin a slow turn over the top.  Surface area of animal is fully cleaned and visible.  Both eye lenses are intact and extremely detailed.  Classic tiny snout and pointed pygidium are exposed and visible.  Highly recommended and a great value for the connoisseur of lab-prepped, rare and choice specimens.
