Giant Trilobite Paradoxites, Over 500 Million Years Old. Trilobites are an extinct group of arthropods related to the horseshoe crabs of today. Most are only an inch or two in length. Large trilobites, such as this 13"x10" giant are found only in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This excellent specimen is complete, from the eyes to the very small tail. It is preserved just as it died on a warm ocean bottom over 500 million years ago. It has a wonderful contrasting reddish-brown color on a light tan matrix. These impressive trilobites are in great demand by collectors, due to their huge size. Add $20 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $250 - 400.
