- Lot Description
Ordovician, 488 - 443 million years ago, Ktaoua Formation - Anti-Atlas Mountains, Morocco. The Selenopeltis trilobites from the Ordovician deposits of South Morocco are scarce in fine quality. This remarkable specimen is the exception with 100% complete and natural preservation, natural color and of very large size. All spines are present and intact. The long graceful spines radiate out from the cephalon (head) all the way down the sides of the trilobite to the pygidium (tail). It's broad, fully inflated thorax is full of natural detail and high dimensional relief of each segment. Even the genal spines (which often are restored even on authentic specimens) are 100% natural and original on this superb specimen. Size: 7.5" L x 13.5" W (19 cm x 34.3 cm)
Provenance: Northern California private collection acquired 2004.
