Description

Quality Hollardops Trilobite for sale from Morocco. The Trilobite shows all eye features and granulated body surfaces. There is one almost invisible initial crack from the right cephalon side to the left thorax end of the Trilobite.

Moroccan Trilobites are mined. Unfortunately in the layers of the hardy Devonian rocks, fossils appear in all directions. Once the rock is broken, the fossil is discovered. Due to the nature of these rocks and the position of the fossil, the fossil is broken too. Experienced Preparators take on the task to glue them back together and to chisel or grind them out. In general cracks and some preparation marks are not avoidable and show that the fossil is real and not faked. There is no damage or replaced parts on this Trilobite.

The availibility of pneumatic and airabrasive tools makes the work of the preparation even more efficient and qualitative upgraded. In some cases the use of Rewoquat does a great job. Features of the eyes, the body markings (pores etc.) and spines can be easier prepared out of the hardy rocks.

Moroccan Trilobites like this quality Hollardops Trilobite for sale are often master pieces of preparation art. Mining of fossils and their preparation is a great source of income for the people, that live in the oasis of the Sahara desert. Whole villages depend on it. Some of the Trilobites processed take up to 100 hours of preparation.

The hollardops fossil here measures 6 cm or 2.4 inches.
