Trilobites - Morocco
The Moroccan trilobites are also amongst the oldest arthropods. They were
abundant during the Paleozoic era, but died out at the end of it. They are easy
identified with their three part bodies. Typically very ornate and very
collectable fossils. The Moroccan trilobites are
incredible with many unusual, ornate, and rare species. The Moroccan
spiny trilobites are incredible. The preparation work on
these trilobites is outstanding with many hours of micro-blasting work. I
purchased a group of high quality specimens - some of the best available. There
will be only a few commercial specimens listed and only one reproduction of a
very rare species (an affordable place holder!). Beware - there are many
fakes and low quality specimens out there!
These are the real Moroccan trilobites and top
quality as well. One of my favorite
fossils! Page down to see the Moroccan trilobites or click on links to go
