PHACOPS TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Hamar Laghdad Formation - Erfoud, Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

Phacops speculator is a classic Devonian Era trilobite from the Atlas formation.  The prominent pustulose surface on the glabella and the wonderful compound eyes are features one can never tire of admiring.  

This example features a beautiful natural color and fine preservation to the creature's fossilized carapace.  Fine pustulose detail throughout with minor damage limited mainly to the left eye and left free cheek.  Other eye well displayed as shown above.  Partially enrolled "death pose" shows this animal was aware of its impending doom.  Super display pose with no deformity to this fully inflated fine example.
