Trilobite Fossils, Crotalocephalus and a Reedops, from Morocco

  

This is a well-preserved double trilobite plate containing a Crotalocephalus (Crotalocelaphina) gibbus and a Reedops cephalotes, from Morocco. Lived during the Early Devonian (395-345 mya) on a prehistoric ocean floor, which is now part of the Atlas mountains of Morocco. Has small holochroal eyes and a prominent glabella. The fossil measures 2.33 inches long and 1.1 inches wide..

The Reedops has well-preserved schizochroal lenses in both eyes and is partially enrolled (tail tucked under, but visible). The Reedops is 1.1 inches long (it is partially enrolled) and 0.88 inches wide. Matrix and bugs measure 4.0 inches long, 3.77 inches wide and 1.99 inches high. There is a repair running down the right side of the Crotalocephalus.

The Reedops has a repair running diagonally across the thorax. In the trilobite -collecting world this is not a detriment. Trilobites are found by smashing open rocks- and the specimens often get broken as a result. It is rare to find an entire, unbroken trilobite. Many sellers do not disclose that their fossils have been repaired as the repair is often very well done, and virtually undetectable.

I believe in full disclosure. All of my fossils are guaranteed authentic and have been legally obtained. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Rocks, Fossils & Minerals\Fossils\Arthropods\Trilobites". The seller is "rockinfossil" and is located in this country: US.
