MOROCCONITES TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Atlas Mountains, Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

The Morocconites malladoides trilobite was a bizarre creature of the ancient seas.  As the "unicorn" of the Devonian trilobites, this wonderful invertebrate is quite rare in genuine form.  Due to the fragile nature of the projecting point off the cephalon, it is VERY common to recreate these by using putty or carving a fake one in the rock and painting it black.  The demand for authentic Morocconites specimens is very strong and they are always in VERY limited supply.  We guarantee the genuineness of the spine and we proudly offer this rare trilobite with lab-preparation and micro-blasting to the complete surface for exquisite detail.   

This fantastic example displays a "rollercoaster" articulation making for a great display.  On the rock, it looks as if the bug is still alive, slinking its way over the matrix.  The overall surface is good but with abrasion.   Eye detail is very good on one side.  Color is natural and host rock is original.
