Two Gigantic Trilobites. There are two giant Acadoparadoxites trilobites on a 25 x 16 inch matrix. Acadoparadoxites was one of the largest and very earliest trilobites (over 500 million years old) that ever lived. This gigantic trilobite was one of the largest predators of the mid Cambrian warm seas of Morocco. Found in the Atlas Mountain range of Morocco, these 12 x 9 and 11.75 x 9.75 inch trilobites have an attractive rust orange color, limonite (an iron oxide) which nicely contrasts with the creamy matrix. Both trilobites are virtually complete with only minor restoration on a few of the spines on the pygidium. With most trilobites being only an inch or so in length, finding a museum quality specimen of such giant trilobites is a very rare occurrence.
