fossilera:An amazingly prepared Crotalocephalina trilobite. Countless hours went into removing the hard limestone matrix it was encased in, and sculpting the rock around it so that is “flys” on a pedestal of rock. This type of work takes a true master, trilobite preparator. The trilobite is Middle Devonian in age or approximately 350 million years old from Lghaft, Morocco. It’s quite large for the species at 3.6” long, and would be close to 4 inches, had it been fully outstretched. This and about a dozen other beautiful trilobite specimens just added for sale at Fossil Era. -- source link
