Description
There are two Devonian fossil trilobite,Paralejurus sp
( possibly
tenuistriatus
), from Morocco on this plate. They were found at Djebel Oufaten, Alnif, Morocco. Crotalocephalus are found in the same deposits.
The bigger fossil measures 1.88 inches long and 1.0 inches wide. The entire specimen, matrix and trilobite, measures 3.65 inches long, 3.1 inches wide and 1.55 inches high. Well-preserved holochroal lenses are present in both right eyes.
The specimen has a repair running straight through the larger trilobite. In the trilobite -collecting world this is not a detriment. Trilobites are found by smashing open rocks- and the specimens often get broken as a result. It is rare to find an entire, unbroken trilobite. And if one is found, they usually are sold for a premium amount. Many sellers do not disclose that their fossils have been repaired as the repair is often very well done, and virtually undetectable. I believe in full disclosure.
All of my fossils are guaranteed authentic and have been legally obtained.
