THREE GIGANTIC TRILOBITES. This magnificent museum quality slab 25 x 23 inches contains three of the largest trilobites that ever lived. Even more remarkable, these Paradoxites sp. trilobites were some of the very first trilobites that ever lived more than 500 million years ago. These gigantic trilobites were one of the largest predators of the mid Cambrian warm seas of Morocco. The largest of these beasts is 14 inches long and 12 inches in diameter. The other two specimens are 13 inches long. Found in the Atlas Mountain range of Morocco, these trilobites are the original rust orange color (limonite) and have not been painted to cover up restoration. They are virtually complete with only minor restoration of a few of the spines mostly on the pygidiums. Such a spectacular grouping of large trilobites is extraordinary.
