Description from the seller

Scientific name:
Asaphus sp.

Location:
Mezguata Formation, Morocco

Stage:
Paleozoic (Ordovician)

Size:
Maximum plate size: 32 cm
Main trilobite: very large size, perfectly preserved

Fossil description:
Impressive fossil assemblage consisting of a huge trilobite Asaphus accompanied by its positive, negative and a new additional positive at the rear, forming an exceptional and extremely complete piece.

The matrix shows several visible trilobites, but it stands out especially a very large specimen, in perfect condition, with extremely fine details on the exoskeleton and extraordinary ocular definition, something highly valued in this genus.

The plate presents outstanding preservation and professional preparation that allow appreciation of each anatomical feature. These types of pieces are considered top-of-collection, extremely difficult to find on the market and worthy of a museum.

Coming from the Mezguata Formation (Morocco), one of the most important sites for high-quality trilobites.
