Spectacular piece composed of two trilobites in a single matrix: a large specimen of Pedinopariops and a Platy Scutellum massai, an extremely rare species highly valued by collectors. Both trilobites have been hand-cleaned with sandblasting, which has preserved the anatomical details to the maximum, including well-defined eyes and intact exoskeletons. The quality of the set, the rarity of the species, and the presentation in a single matrix make this piece a true paleontological gem, ideal for museum display or high-level collections.
