AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Crotalocephalina (Crotalocephalus) gibbus Trilobite – Devonian, Morocco
An outstanding example of Devonian arthropod life, this Crotalocephalina gibbus trilobite is remarkably well preserved and professionally prepared, with no restoration or reconstruction. Found in the fossil-rich deposits of the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco, this specimen exhibits exceptional detail along the entire dorsal surface, from the prominent glabella to the finely segmented thorax and well-defined pygidium.
The fossil is fully exposed on a sculpted matrix, showcasing the trilobite's complete form and characteristic curvature. Unlike many examples of this species, which are often damaged or poorly prepared, this specimen is 100% intact and displays the original anatomical features in crisp relief.
The trilobite itself measures 5.6 x 3.2 x 1.2 cm and is presented on a naturally shaped limestone base.
Age: Devonian period (~390 million years ago)
A superb and display-worthy fossil, ideal for collectors of Paleozoic invertebrates or serious fossil enthusiasts seeking a top-grade Crotalocephalina example.
