REEDOPS TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Atlas Mountains, Morocco

DEVONIAN PERIOD:  395 - 345 million years ago

This is a beautiful and extremely pustulose example of a Reedops maurulus trilobite from the Devonian deposits in the Atlas Range at the edge of the Northern Sahara.  It is a breath-taking specimen in its natural black olive green hue.  Not only is it a beautifully and NATURALLY colored example but its state of preservation and detail is superb.  The entire creature is intact with superb preservation and detail on both eyes down to the tiny multi-lenses.  The pose is a partially enrolled "death pose" with its tail tucked under its body. 

Unlike typical trilobite fossils, this is a professionally prepared example using high-tech micro-abrasive equipment to fully expose every bit of tiny detail.  The end result was worth the extra expense and labor and has produced this fascinating, fine quality fossil.
