This is simply one of the most beautiful trilobites ever prepared. It is a spectacular Phacops speculator from Morocco. This Phacops is not just beautiful, it is unbelievable. The rock matrix has been professionally extracted from around the trilobite, giving the appearance it is floating in mid-air! The base, too, has been expertly sculpted - it really does look like an artist's sculpture, not a fossil. The trilobite is super clean and the compound eye facets are excellent. And the hypostoma (mouthplate) has been exposed - what more could you want?
This is the kind of trilobite we take pride in showcasing. It is not only a fantastic Phacops trilobite in its own right, it has also been artistically sculpted into the amazing creature you see before you. This is one fossil even your mother could love!
