Description
Trilobite FossilZlichovaspis rugosa
Lower Devonian
Morocco
This robust example of Zlichovaspis rugosa comes from the Lower Devonian deposits of Morocco, a region well known for producing striking Trilobite fossils. Measuring some 3 inches (7.6 cm) long, the sizable black specimen has a natural curve that highlights the detail of its segmented body, including the head and tail sections. The dark shell is nicely contrasted by two subtle brown linear highlights, and it rests on a natural matrix that enhances its overall appearance. The species' typically broad, sturdy proportions are clearly shown, giving the fossil a strong visual presence. Some expected preparation and stabilization can be seen, but the specimen remains an attractive and well-presented example of this distinctive Devonian Trilobite.
Overall Measurements: 5.24 x 4.15 x 1.69 inches (13.30 x 10.53 x 4.28 cm)
