Two Gigantic Trilobites. There are two giant Acadoparadoxites trilobites on a 25X17 inch matrix. Acadoparadoxites was
one of the largest and very earliest trilobite (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 15X11 and 14X11 inch trilobites have an attractive medium brown color which nicely contrasts the gray matrix. Both trilobites are virtually complete with only minor restoration on a few of the spines on the cephalon (head) on both of the trilobites where the two trilobites slightly overlap. 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. Estimated Value $600 - 750
