Description
Discover an exquisite and genuine specimen of an Enrolled Phacops Trilobite, dating back to the Devonian period, sourced directly from the renowned fossil-rich beds of Morocco. This fascinating fossil represents a small but distinct segment of Earth’s biological and geological history, perfectly sized at 5-10mm and ideal for collectors, educators, or fossil enthusiasts.
Phacops trilobites are particularly notable for their well-preserved compound eyes and ability to enroll as a defensive mechanism. The enrolled form adds to both the rarity and appeal of this piece. Please refer to the scale cube (1cm) and photos for accurate sizing and detail; the image shows an example of the specimen you will receive.
Each fossil is carefully selected to ensure quality and authenticity. All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
This Phacops trilobite belongs to the family Phacopidae, within the order Phacopida, and the superfamily Phacopoidea. While a more detailed taxonomic classification (such as biozone or formal discoverer) cannot be confirmed with certainty for this specific lot, Phacops trilobites are commonly associated with Devonian marine deposits, particularly within the Emsian to Givetian stages. The depositional environment was a shallow, warm, marine shelf conducive to the preservation of such detailed fossils.
This is an excellent addition to any fossil collection or as a unique gift for someone fascinated by natural history.
