ODONTOCHILE TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Atlas Mountains, Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

The 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".   The specimens offered here are from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, North Africa.

Worthy of any museum exhibit as well as your private collection, these specimens range from fine quality to choice and will feature excellent eye lens detail and genuine pygidium in the higher range of the price group.  Each example has been meticulously lab prepped with micro-abrasive equipment to best expose the delicate detail.  Much more labor is involved but the end result is a much finer trilobite with excellent detail.
