Description from the seller

In this lot, Trilobites of good size are auctioned (the entire piece measures 8.5 cm, the animal in an extended position would be about 5 cm), of the species Scabricutellum Hammadi, in matrix, with an imposing arched posture.
Perfectly preserved, great eye quality, (should be observed under magnification).
Color of the animal with a green-brown hue, quite contrasted with the matrix, natural shine without varnish.
Specimen worked using a jetting technique, "this is an exquisite piece"
Comes from Jbel Oufaten, Maider region, Morocco.
Corresponds to the early Devonian period, Emsian age.
On many occasions the anatomical differences between species can be very subtle and only the most attentive eyes are able to distinguish them.
In paleontology the study of trilobites is a broad and exclusive discipline, "it's a whole world."
Accompanied by an L-shaped acrylic stand for display as a gift

Seller's Story

Passionate about paleontology since childhood, a 'conservative' collector. For me, working with this material is a dream, treated with all the respect and love. It is well known to all of us that the feeling of having a fossil in our hands is something very special. Honestly, I really enjoy sharing with other enthusiasts this treasure that is fossils, a legacy of our planet's natural history.
