LARGE CAMBROPALLAS ( ANDALUSIANA ) TRILOBITE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE

Anti-Atlas Mountain Range, South Morocco

LOWER CAMBRIAN PERIOD:   550 million years ago

From the Cambrian beds of the Anti-Atlas Region of Southern Morocco, these positive and negative Cambropallas telesto (Andalusiana) trilobite specimens are superb display specimens.  Each of these are natural in their respective host rock.  Both halves of the rock are included, the positive fossil AND the negative side which was split off to reveal the animal.  These are priced much higher than a standard specimen and generally smaller than such, yet, there is no equal to these in rarity and quality.  

Both positive and negative host rock are solid and natural.  It is common in the market now to offer Cambropallas geodes.  Be careful and don't be fooled.  Most are manufactured with a cheap, mostly faked trilobite specimen on the bottom and a top half completely fabricated out of Bondo (automotive car body filler) pressed over the animal and then shaped to look like a geode half.  

Here with these specimens we offer, you have the real thing, 100% solid limestone sheets with the creature's TOP and BOTTOM impression!  Some of these may possess very minor restoration where the animal was broken which can be expected in the manner in which they excavate these.  Specimens like these are becoming incredibly difficult to find.  That's why so many are faked.  If you demand the best, here it is!
