Lot 1211
Pair of Large 8" Long Trilobites From Morocco. This pair of large 8x5¼" trilobites are of the Andalusiana species and were found near Alnif, in southeast Morocco. They are over 500 million years old with their original calcite shell replaced with iron-rich, orange-brown Limonite. The 16x9" stone concretion was fortunately broken open to reveal these two near-perfect, preserved trilobites. Each half has one positive and one negative trilobite, as one was rightside up and one upside down when they were buried. Usually, trilobites found in concretions such as these have some distortion and damage due to being buried under many tons of rock. Both halves can be carefully placed back together to form the original concretion. Add $45 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $300 - 500.
