LANNACUS TRILOBITE Anti- Atlas Region, Morocco ORDOVICIAN PERIOD: 510 million years ago Amongst the largest trilobites, the Lannacus sp. asaphid trilobite is a large trilobite from the Anti-Atlas Ordovician deposits in southern Morocco usually found in concretions looking like fat pancakes. The rock is split open and if you're lucky, a nice trilobite is encased in the rock as this one is. This impressive specimen is fully articulated and inflated exhibiting wonderful detail and preservation. Surrounding matrix has been fully prepared for better display appeal. The majority of the original limonite orange coloring is present. A thin layer of resin was applied over the genuine cephalon and free cheeks to reinforce and repair the region as this part partially stuck to the other side of the rock when split open and became fragmented. Thick host rock is 100% original with no filler and fully present with only repairs sustained during excavation. Here's a seldom seen trilobite that makes a fantastic display fossil for it's rarity, natural condition and impressive size on its thick and original rock matrix. The round shape of the rock and the geode nature of how these came to be fossilized are interesting and unique fossils for any display. This trilobite type is surely to appreciate as the very limited supply continues to dwindle.
