Description

Trilobite Fossil
Eldredgeops (Phacops) sp.
Devonian
Morocco
7.64 x 5.91 x 2.23 inches (19.40 x 15.00 x 5.67 cm)

This large Eldredgeops Trilobite displays well-defined segmentation and a typical black coloration, preserved on a classic slab of gray matrix. Distinct compound eyes and clearly articulated lobes highlight the diagnostic features of this Devonian-age species. While some surface irregularities are present, the specimen remains visually compelling and in overall good condition. As is customary with Moroccan trilobites, areas of restoration are expected and contribute to a more complete presentation. This is a bold and recognizable example of a widely collected Paleozoic fossil, and this piece would make an excellent addition to any fossil display.
