Trilobite - Fossilised animal - Crotalocephalus gibbus

Two Fossilized Trilobites on Rock Matrix – Paleontological Specimen Remarkable fossil specimen featuring two trilobites preserved on their natural rock matrix, including one particularly clearly visible specimen with its entire body preserved. The main trilobite stands out for its elongated, segmented body, successive rings, and raised shell. Its characteristic morphology is highlighted by the natural shades of brown, ochre, and gray resulting from fossilization. A second trilobite is also present on the same matrix, adding further interest to this fossil assemblage. The rock has a natural mineral texture, with color variations and irregularities that emphasize the specimen’s age and authenticity. Trilobites are now-extinct marine arthropods that lived during the Paleozoic Era. Their fossils are particularly prized by collectors for the diversity of their forms and the wealth of their anatomical detail. This assemblage makes an interesting addition to a paleontology collection, a cabinet of curiosities, or a private collection devoted to marine fossils. Characteristics * Type: Set of two fossilized trilobites * Number of specimens: 2 * Preservation: On natural rock matrix * Special feature: One trilobite with its entire body visually preserved * Colors: Brown, ochre, gray, and dark shades * Appearance: Pronounced relief and visible body segmentation * Condition: Specimen on matrix with natural irregularities, cleaned and treated.. * Geological period: Devonian. * Origin: Morocco. The piece will be carefully packaged for shipping. To complete the Catawiki listing properly, I would simply need the origin and dimensions of the matrix. I can then finalize the title and description without inventing a species or geological period.
