Gigantic Trilobite. More than 500 million years old, Paradoxides was one of the earliest trilobites that ever lived. This gigantic 11½" long and 11" wide, virtually complete trilobite was one of the largest predators of the mid Cambrian warm seas of Morocco. Found in the Atlas Mountain range of Morocco, this trilobite has an attractive rust brown-orange color formed from limonite (an iron oxide), which nicely contrasts the 17 x 15½" dark gray matrix. There is only minor restoration on the tips of the spines on the pygidium. Estimate Value $300 - 400
