From the Ordovician, found near Tafraoute, Morocco. At the longest measurement, tip to tip, the plate measures about 7.2 inches.
The plate weighs 1 lb. Most of the trilobites range from under 1 inch up to 1.25 inches. Some are "positives" meaning the trilobite itself is here. Most are "negatives", meaning the impression left by the trilobite. There are also a couple trilobites on the back side.Some paleo glue has been applied on the side to strengthen a natural crack on the edge. Almost invisible when viewing from the top. If you take this and put it on the display holder (included), it should last many, many years.
Keep out of reach of anyone who would handle it roughly. An amazing piece of natural history!We wrap these very carefully and securely. If this does not work with you, please do not order. We invite you to visit our store, which can be accessed on the right side of the top page.
Once inside our store, you will see about a thousand items for sale, and we hope you will love them. We sell items ranging from budget to world-class. If you like what we have to offer, PLEASE favorite us! It is the easiest way for you to look us up in the future. You will receive the exact item described and photographed, unless clearly stated otherwise.In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not as much. We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COA's: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the specimens.
We have been working with fossils and minerals for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA's, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. Finally, a COA, without a photo of the exact specimen on the COA itself, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral. We suggest that in addition to relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject. We want to make sure you are fairly treated by us always.
If you take it out of the United States, you are on your own.
