HUGE PARAHOMALONOTUS TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Hamar Laghdad Formation - Erfoud, Morocco DEVONIAN PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago The Parahomalonotus planus planus species trilobite was a beautifully simplistic and streamlined creature. 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 of trilobites from the Devonian. Of the ones that are found, most are so poorly preserved that they are not worth showing. Every collection should include a fine example of these odd species when one can be located. If you fancy odd trilobites and only want the best, this specimen will likely be one of the finest examples of these you will find. Prepared in our own facility here in Orlando, Florida, this fantastic and very large Parahomalonotus is one of the largest of this species we have ever found. Usually found enrolled or disarticulated, this specimen is neither and represents a rare opportunity to secure a prize example. The animal is complete with the most fascinating "roller-coaster" articulation and has been expertly prepared to sit up above the rock as if still alive. The entire trilobite has been meticulously lab prepped with micro-abrasive equipment to best expose the delicate detail. The surface of the creature displays some signs of degeneration in comparison to some of the other types of the Atlas Range and of the Devonian but for this species, this specimen ranks right at the top as an AAA type! A superb display fossil of a seldom encountered type. Very highly recommended! SUPER RARE IN SIZE AND QUALITY - THE FINEST ARTICULATION AND PREPARATION POSSIBLE!!! 3.75" by 2.75" wide with original matrix, animal is huge at 3.25" in length SOLD TR3202 INCLUDES STAND Actual Item - One Only |
