AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific Name:
Asaphus sp.
(Ordovician trilobites)
Location:
Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Zagora Province, Morocco
Period:
Ordovician
Size:
- Whole plate: 18 cm
- Each trilobite: about 4–5 cm
Fossil description:
Impressive mortality/death assemblage plate with two trilobites of the genus Asaphus, completely natural and exceptionally well preserved. These kinds of pieces, where several specimens are fossilized together, are highly prized for their scientific and aesthetic value, as they capture a real moment from the Ordovician marine past.
Each trilobite, 4–5 cm, preserves a clear morphology, with a well-defined cephalon, thorax, and pygidium.
The plate, 18 cm, shows a stable and homogeneous matrix that enhances the presence of both specimens.
Hailing from the fossil region of Drâa-Tafilalet (Zagora), one of Morocco’s richest trilobite areas, this piece stands out for its natural appearance, visual balance, and excellent preservation.
An ideal piece for collectors seeking authentic, aesthetically pleasing fossils with presence.
Restoration:
None – completely natural piece
