TRAIN WRECK PARAHOMALONOTUS TRILOBITE - Hamar Laghdad Formation - Erfoud, Morocco DEVONIAN PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago The Parahomalonotus is a beautifully simplistic and streamlined trilobite. Its segments are so delicate and fine, it is more akin to looking like a fat worm rather than a crustacean. Very few genuine specimens can be found on the market, even less than the rare spiny types. Any collection should not be lacking an example of these odd species. This is a fascinating example and is completely genuine with no restoration of any kind. It shows a molted carapace disarticulated three segments like a train wreck! Each of the segments represent full and intact sections of the three main segments of trilobites, a cephalon (head), a thorax and a pygidium (tail). Each section is fully inflated and BOTH eyes are intact with excellent relief. A superb display fossil of a little encountered type. Very highly recommended! A VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND SPECIES AND RARE AS THIS ONE IS 100% GENUINE! 3.75" by 2.75" wide with original matrix, animal 2.75" in length $175 TR3201 Actual Item - One Only |
