Description from the seller
Two fossilized trilobites on rocky matrix – Paleontological specimen
Remarkable fossil specimen presenting two trilobites preserved on their natural rocky matrix, with one specimen particularly well visible and with its body entirely preserved.
The main trilobite stands out with its elongated, segmented body, its successive rings, and its relief carapace. Its characteristic morphology is highlighted by the natural tones of brown, ochre, and gray of the fossilization.
A second trilobite is also present on the same matrix, adding extra interest to this fossil ensemble.
The rock shows a natural mineral texture, with color variations and irregularities that underscore the age and authentic character of the specimen.
Trilobites are marine arthropods now extinct that lived during the Paleozoic era. Their fossils are particularly prized by collectors for the diversity of their forms and the richness of their anatomical details.
This set constitutes an interesting piece for a paleontology collection, a cabinet of curiosities, or a private collection devoted to marine fossils.
Characteristics
* Type: Two fossilized trilobite ensemble
* Number of specimens: 2
* Conservation: On natural rocky matrix
* Special feature: One trilobite with its body fully preserved visually
* Colors: Brown, ochre, gray, and dark tones
* Appearance: Marked relief and visible body segmentation
* Condition: Specimen on matrix presenting natural irregularities, cleaned and treated..
* Geological period: Devonian.

The piece will be carefully packed for transport.
To properly complete the Catawiki listing, I would simply need the provenance and the dimensions of the matrix. I could then finalize the title and description without inventing any species or geological period.

Have you ever observed the Milky Way? Have you ever observed a shooting star? Have you ever wondered where this one fell? In any case, we do and were even able to collect some by hand to send them directly to your home.
Each of our meteorites is unique and carefully selected before sale, cleaned, often treated, sometimes sliced and sometimes polished using specific equipment.
