It's an awesome rare specimen and a unique opportunity for serious collectors. The colours of the specimen (very well preserved) result from replacing the original cuticular substances with ferritic minerals, particularly iron oxides, abundant in this very particular geological layer.

SCIENTIFIC NAME Platypeltoides magrebiensis (EARLY HOLASPID) - Ordovician, Morocco. The Fezouata Shale has been compared to the very well know Burgess Shale, in North America. In fact, it is, in late years, a prolific area in fossil discoveries that changed the fossil taxonomy of several groups of organisms and that helped better to understand the evolution of all the life on Earth. Not only several trilobite species have been newly documented there: some other Arthropods (like the famous Anomalocarids), soft-bodied creatures like this.

And Echinoderms are other important groups found and studied there, among thousands of species. Besides the intrinsic value of this specimen, as a piece of Natural History, you are acquiring a rare item, whose preparation (in specialized laboratories using micro tools) is a difficult task that takes dozens of hours and needs skills. Fossils - namely premium items - are, nowadays, also a way of investment as their value will rise. They are increasingly also being used as decor, and luxury items, taking advantage of the mysterious beauty and framing that they can provide in appropriate spaces. 0-500 g > Europe: 8 EUR /9 USD; Rest of the world 11 EUR /13 USD.
