This is a beautiful multiple plate of trilobites. These are Ellipsocephalus hoffi from the Cambrian of the Czech Republic. This specimen was recently acquired from the famous DeRosear Collection. Trilobites from this area are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. There are NINE complete trilobites and three large counterparts on this slab. The bugs are quite 3-dimensional and exhibit fine detail. The trilobites have nice brown coloration and contrast wonderfully with the large matrix block. The fossils are well showcased on the rectangular plate of shale. This is an excellent multiple plate of trilobites from the DeRosear Collection.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
