Rare double trilobite fossil on matrix—museum quality

A beautiful and highly decorative double trilobite fossil preserved in natural limestone matrix from Morocco, one of the world's most famous fossil-producing regions. This specimen features two well-prepared trilobites displayed on the same matrix, creating an attractive natural composition. The larger trilobite, identified as Metacanthina, displays exceptionally preserved compound eyes with remarkable detail.
