This is a fantastic trilobite double from the Devonian of Morocco. There are two different types of trilobites on the block. Both trilobites are natural to the piece - there has been no compositing done to this magnificent specimen. A beautifully outstretched Paralejurus hamlagdadicus is on one side of the block. This 3-dimensional trilobite has the brim of the head prepared in a free-standing manner for optimal display. On the other side of the block is a very inflated and 3-D Cheirurus (Crotalocephalina) gibbus. The sharp tailspines have been prepared in a free-standing manner, which is quite striking. Both trilobites have excellent detail preserved. The colorful trilobites contrast well with the lighter-colored matrix. The large bugs are beautifully showcased on the sculpted block of dense limestone. This is an outstanding specimen of two different trilobites that has been artfully prepared to its maximum potential.
