Description from the seller
Scientific Name:
Asaphus sp.
(Ordovician trilobites)
Location:
Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Zagora Province, Morocco
Period:
Ordovician
Size:
- Whole slab: 18 cm
- Each trilobite: approximately 4–5 cm
Fossil description:
Impressive mortality plate featuring two trilobites of the genus Asaphus, completely natural and exceptionally well preserved. Pieces like this, where several specimens are fossilized together, are highly valued for their scientific and aesthetic merit, as they capture a real moment from the Ordovician marine past.
Each trilobite, 4–5 cm in size, preserves a clear morphology, with a well-defined cephalon, thorax, and pygidium. The slab, measuring 18 cm, shows a stable, homogeneous matrix that enhances the presence of both specimens.
Hailing from the fossil region of Drâa-Tafilalet (Zagora), one of the richest trilobite areas in Morocco, this piece stands out for its naturalism, visual balance, and excellent state of preservation.
An ideal piece for collectors seeking authentic, aesthetic fossils with presence.
Restoration:
None – completely natural piece
