UNUSUAL FLOATING ZILCHOVASPIS TRILOBITE WITH FULLY EXPOSED SPINES Hamar Laghdad Formation - Erfoud, Morocco DEVONIAN PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago
Unquestionably, this is THE Lamborghini of Zilchovaspis (aka Odontochile) trilobites! The technique and pose is to an extreme with ALL pleural and pygidial spines exposed along with its snout process, genal spines and entire head fringe. Viewed from behind (third photo from the top), one can admire the extensive and delicate touch that was needed during countless hours to prepare this specimen in this manner. This graceful, backbreaking pose makes this one bizarre example of trilobite articulation. Extremely dramatic in aesthetics and most definitely, one of the best of this species we will offer! The ULTIMATE example to display - even those disinterested in fossils would be hard-pressed to not take notice of this showpiece!!!
This Zilchovaspis specimen has been carefully lab-prepped with high-tech micro-abrasive equipment to fully expose every bit of tiny detail. Highly recommended and a one-of-a-kind addition for any quality collection where "something different" is the desired highlight of the specimen.
