Description

Trilobite Fossil
Eldredgeops (Phacops) sp.
Devonian
Morocco
4.37 x 3.31 x 1.56 inches (11.11 x 8.40 x 3.97 cm)

This fossilized Trilobite, belonging to the genus Eldredgeops, presents remarkable detail in both its segmented body and textured cephalon. Preserved in Limestone, the dark exoskeleton stands out sharply against the pale matrix, creating a dramatic contrast. The compound eyes and ridged thorax remain strikingly well defined, offering a glimpse into the armored life of this Devonian predator. With its almost otherworldly form, the specimen hints at creatures that once thrived in ancient seas but now seem more at home in a cabinet of curiosities. A superb example, this Trilobite pairs scientific value with a natural touch of Halloween atmosphere.

Estimate: $200 - up.
