NEOMETACANTHUS ( MRAKIBINA ) TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Atlas Mountain Range, Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

Similar in ways to a Metacanthina trilobite, this highly collectible type is called NEOMETACANTHUS or NEOMETACANTHINA and MRAKIBINA in some circles.  The longer sweeping genal spines and elongated pygidial spines are what sets this species apart from its Metacanthus cousin.  

We have carefully hand-selected specimens that are worthy of lab preparation.  Each example has been meticulously freed from its matrix 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 features preserved and ready for the finest display.  

EXCELLENT GRADE EXAMPLES OF THIS RARE AND NEWLY NAMED TYPE!
