About the Item

Step back over half a billion years with this Paradoxides trilobite fossil from the Middle Cambrian Epoch. Impressive in both size and presence, this specimen showcases the genus’s iconic broad cephalon and elongated thoracic segments – which allowed these early arthropods to thrive across ancient seafloors over 510 million years ago in prehistoric times. Expertly prepared and displayed in its original limestone matrix, this fossil is framed by classic Moroccan chiselwork that highlight the natural contours of and contrast the fossil itself. Reddish-orange mineralization offers visual texture and preserves fine anatomical detail. This is a museum-quality relic of Earth’s earliest complex life — ideal for fossil collectors, interior designers seeking statement natural décor, or institutions curating deep-time biological exhibits. Weight: 4.4 lb.
