Lot 700
Mass Mortality Plate of Eight Complete and 12 Partial Trilobites. Some natural disaster occurred 480 million years ago to bury these 15 trilobites in their living position. What activity brought so many trilobites together can only be guessed at but some trilobite mating ritual is one possibility. These spectacular 3-D light brown Homotelus trilobites are from the Ordovician Carter County formation of Oklahoma. There are eight complete 1 ½ - 1 ¾ inch trilobites and more than a dozen partial trilobites on a 9 ½ X 7 ½ inch stone matrix. All of these 100% original trilobites look very life-like as if they are crawling on the rolling ocean bottom. Estimate Value $500 - UP
