Gigantic Foot Long Trilobite, 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, this 12 x 11.5 inch trilobite has an attractive rust orange color, limonite (an iron oxide) which nicely contrasts the creamy 17 x 16 inch matrix. This trilobite is virtually complete with only minor restoration to the bottom of one side of one spine of the Cephalon and there is just a little separation between the Cephalon (head) and Pygiduim (body). With most trilobites being only an inch or so in length, finding a museum quality specimen of such a giant trilobite is a very rare occurrence.
