RECORD-SIZE
ZILCHOVASPIS (ODONTOCHILE)
TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED
Hamar
Laghdad Formation - Erfoud, Morocco
DEVONIAN
PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago
The
Zilchovaspis (Odontochile) trilobites are of a graceful and beautiful design.
With their long genal spines and streamlined pygidium terminating in a
fine point, it can easily be seen why trilobites have been called
"the butterflies of the ancient seas". This
example is in a highly displayable partially enrolled position as it
sits bent over the matrix. The entire trilobite has been meticulously
lab prepped with micro-abrasive equipment to best expose the
delicate detail. To
date, this is THE single LARGEST Odontochile we have ever offered!!!
It is a MONSTROUS example measuring at 5.4" if straightened! That is an
incredibly uncommon size and immeasurably adds to the rarity and value of this fine and highly
collectible example. Massive matrix displays creature upright as
if crawling over crest of its original limestone matrix in which it was
found. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! A
MASSIVE SPECIMEN IN A SUPERB DISPLAYABLE POSE WITH SUBSTANTIAL ORIGINAL
MATRIX!
