Lot 827
Professionally Prepared Grouping of Four Trilobites On A Single Block. These four trilobites have been carefully prepared in the same position that they were buried more than 375 million years ago in the Hamar Laghdad Formation in Morocco. Such careful and time-consuming preparation gives them the appearance of crawling over the rock. There are two of the spiny, eye-stalked trilobites - Ceratarges armatus - about 2" long with both their eye stalks and curved head spines cut free of the matrix. Next is a rare trilobite Thyganopeltis, 2" long with its shell patterned pygidium and small sharp spines. Lastly is a small 1" long Otarion turned on its side, almost like its flying with its small, stalked eyes cut free of the matrix. These four trilobites are crawling all over their 6" x 5" tan matrix. Add $35 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
