Description
- Cornuproetus sp. with Spines
- Devonian Age
- Atchana, Morocco
- North Africa
- Specimen measures .95″ long. This RARE specimen has a row of spines that has not been seen on other Cornuproetus. This is the FIRST ONE I have seen. It is bolted to the lid of the container for safety during transport and can be removed with a screwdriver easily for display purposes.
For years the Trilobites from Morocco have received a “bad rap” due to very poor preparation techniques and an overabundance of altered and completely fabricated specimens. This is not the case at Prehistoric Fossils. ALL OF THE MOROCCO TRILOBITES OFFERED AT Prehistoric Fossils ARE GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE…. FOREVER! All of the trilobites we offer have been 100% LAB PREPPED USING STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT. Bear in mind that trilobites that have spines and stalks on them have most likely had some of them reattached during the preparation process, as it is virtually impossible to prep them out completely without damaging them. Reattachment is NOT the same as reconstruction or fabrication!! Repairs & restoration are minimal on these incredible specimens…
