This is truly an artistically-prepared trilobite fossil. It is a natural double Metacanthina (=Asteropyge) issoumourensis from Morocco. This specimen has been expertly prepared under a microscope in the EXTINCTIONS Preparation Lab. Both trilobites have exqusite detail and amazing preservation. They are both fully inflated and 3-D. The outstretched Metacanthina is totally complete and beautifully articulated. The compound eyes are beutiful - the facets are almost perfectly intact. The second trilobite on the plate is aesthetically curled with the genal spines prepared fully free-standing. This bug also showcases excellent compound eyes. Both bugs are 100% NATURAL to the sculpted matrix plate - absolutely no compositing. This is simply one of those special fossils that has been professionally prepared to achieve its maximum potential. It is a stunning display fossil and an incredible piece of natural art.
