Reddish Positive/Negative Asaphellus aff. fezouataensis – Fezouata Konservat-Lagerstätte, Morocco | PAIS9580 Please see the high-resolution photos for full details: specimen in matrix context, isolated view, and magnified close-ups. Additional images available upon request. OUR GRADING FOR THIS SPECIMEN: 3/5 *** - Untouched Asaphellus aff. fezouataensis slab. Small specimen, although always a though-after species from Fezouata. (Graded using our transparent 5-point system — see seller info for details.) Restoration details: All natural specimens. Untouched. Dimensions Trilobite: 1.7 × 1.4 cm Matrix: 9.3 × 4.8 cm Weight: 154 g Scientific Details Species: Asaphellus aff. fezouataensis Family: Asaphidae Order: Asaphida Class: Trilobita Lithostratigraphy: Fezouata Formation Age: Ordovician Locality: near Zagora, Anti-Atlas Mountains, Morocco Collection Code: PAIS9580 | Collected: 2020 Why This Stands Out? • Internal and external moulds of Asaphellus aff. fezouataensis, showing well-preserved exoskeleton • Interesting fossiliferous slab with disperse tergites • Striking reddish diagenetic coloration, likely due to iron oxide mineralization – enhancing contrast and visual appeal • From the world famous Fezouata Konservat-Lagerstätte • Offered with no reserve price Special notes on Coloration : The specimens exhibit striking orange/red hues, likely resulting from mineralization processes in the exoskeleton – possibly involving iron oxides incorporated during diagenesis. These tones enhance the contrast with the warm-toned limestone matrix and highlight the 3D relief of the axial lobe, cephalic structures, pleurae and pygidium, adding both aesthetic elegance and taphonomic interest. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a true milestone in early arthropod evolution. Questions? We’re happy to help. Contact us for additional photos, details, or scientific references.
