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 while we have a category listing here, they are always in VERY limited supply. We guarantee the genuineness of the spine and we proudly offer these rare trilobites with lab-preparation and micro-blasting to the complete surface for exquisite detail. Worthy of any museum exhibit as well as your private collection, these specimens range from fine quality to choice and will feature fine detail and a genuine cephalonic spine. 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. 4" - 2.25" long by 3.5" - 2.25" wide with original matrix, animal 3.25" - 2.75" in length from $275 to $395 TR29L INCLUDES STAND |
