XL Trilobite
This specimen is a Reedops trilobite, an extinct arthropod that lived during the Devonian period, approximately 390 million years ago. It has been displayed on a bespoke wood base stand.
The trilobite's exoskeleton, naturally fossilised in fine-grained sediment, reveals evidence of enrollment, a defensive posture where the creature curled into a ball to protect its softer underside. The high degree of preservation allows for close inspection of the fine pustular texture and the subtle curvature of its body segments, showcasing its evolutionary adaptations to life on the seafloor.
Collected from the Devonian strata of the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco, this specimen has been expertly prepared using precision air tools to expose the fossil without damage. It serves as both a scientific relic and a striking natural sculpture, offering a direct connection to Earth’s ancient marine ecosystems.
Base: Solid Smooth Grain European Oak
Mount: Stainless Steel
Specimen Dimensions: 180mm h x 220mm w
Total Dimensions: 280mm h x 180mm w
