Description
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this specimen.Here is a very cool fossil trilobite, from the Devonian, about 390 million years ago, long before the first dinosaur. From Morocco.
It is a Paralejurus, in a backwards stretch. Most trilobites enrolled with the approach of danger, curling up into a ball. This little creature is doing the opposite.
Please see the photos for size and scale. The plate it is on is about 3 inches wide, and weighs 4.05 oz.
This Paralejurus also exhibits very tiny, complex eyes. Many trilobites had complex eyes, these are just smaller and more numerous than mos species.
The rock these are excavated from is extremely hard, so trilobites from this area are typically excavated in a couple pieces, and reassembled back in the lab. That appears to be what happened here, though the repair is virtually invisible on the trilobite itself. This is not considered a defect, just like with dinosaur bones. This is the rock it was found in, and it is extremely solid. A trilobite that is excavated in one piece sells for a high premium.
We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, as part of that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil. We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject.
