Authentic 2" Phacopid Trilobite Fossil (Morocops sp.) in Original Limestone Matrix
Up for sale is a 100% genuine, beautifully preserved Phacopid trilobite fossil (likely genus Morocops or Austerops). This prehistoric marine arthropod dates back to the Lower Devonian period, making it approximately 400 million years old.
This specimen was collected from the famous fossil-rich limestone beds of the Atlas Mountains region near Ofaten, Morocco.
Item Highlights:
• Authenticity: Guaranteed 100% real fossil, not a cast, replica, or resin fake.
• Preparation Style: Classic commercial preparation. The surrounding grey limestone matrix clearly shows the original white pneumatic air-scribe tool marks from when it was excavated.
• Aesthetics: The dark trilobite shell has excellent 3D relief and segmentation, raised cleanly off the natural matrix rock. It has a beautiful, rich dark contrast.
• Size: The trilobite itself measures roughly 2 inches along the curve (please refer to the listing photos for scale in hand).
This makes an incredible, affordable centerpiece for any fossil collection, a unique desk display, or an educational gift for a science enthusiast.
