AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific Name:
Asaphus sp.
(Ordovician trilobites)
Location:
Drâa‑Tafilalet Region, Zagora Province, Morocco
Stage:
Ordovician
Size:
- Complete plate: 18 cm
- Each trilobite: approximately 4–5 cm
Fossil description:
Impressive mortality plate 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 cephalon, thorax and pygidium well defined. The plate, 18 cm, shows a stable and homogeneous matrix that enhances the presence of both specimens.
Originating from the fossil region of Drâa‑Tafilalet (Zagora), one of the richest zones in trilobites in Morocco, this piece stands out for its naturalness, visual balance and excellent conservation state.
An ideal piece for collectors seeking authentic, aesthetic fossils with presence.
Restoration:
None – completely natural piece
