AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific Name:
Asaphus sp.
(Ordovician trilobites)
Location:
Region of Drâa‑Tafilalet, Zagora Province, Morocco
Period:
Ordovician
Size:
- Complete slab: 18 cm
- Each trilobite: approximately 4–5 cm
Fossil description:
Impressive mortality slab with two trilobites of the genus Asaphus, completely natural and exceptionally well preserved. This type of piece, where several specimens are fossilized together, is highly valued for its scientific and aesthetic merit, as it captures a real moment from the Ordovician marine past.
Each trilobite, 4–5 cm, preserves a clear morphology, with the cephalon, thorax, and pygidium well defined. The slab, 18 cm, shows a stable and homogeneous matrix that enhances the presence of both specimens.
Sourced from the fossil region of Drâa‑Tafilalet (Zagora), one of Morocco’s most trilobite-rich areas, this piece stands out for its naturalness, visual balance, and excellent state of preservation.
An ideal piece for collectors seeking authentic, aesthetically pleasing fossils with presence.
Restoration:
None – completely natural piece
