Trilobite Mass Mortality Plate. Some natural disaster occurred 480 million years ago to bury these 15 trilobites in their living position. These spectacular 3-D trilobites are from the Ordovician Kaoua formation of Southern Morocco. These spectacular mostly complete black trilobites, Omnia superba are nicely contrasted against the cream colored 10 x 6 inch light brown stone matrix. Ommia superba is a very distinctive looking trilobite with a bulbous "nose" on its head (cephalon) as well as an interesting dimpled pattern on the front edge of the head. Also, it is considered a spiny trilobite as it has two long spines extending back from its head to the rear (pygidium) of its three part body. All 15 of these 100% original trilobites look very life-like as if they are crawling on the rolling ocean bottom.
