Odontochile spiniferum Trilobite

This impressive Odontochile spiniferum trilobite offers a fascinating glimpse into marine life from approximately 390 million years ago. Dating to the Middle Devonian Period, this fossil comes from the Hamar Laghdad Formation in the Tafilalt region of Morocco, an area renowned for its beautifully preserved Devonian trilobites.

Odontochile spiniferum is distinguished by its elongated, segmented exoskeleton, prominent compound eyes, and finely detailed body structure. Like other trilobites, these ancient marine arthropods possessed a hard external skeleton that provided protection as they moved along the seafloor. Their intricate anatomy makes them fascinating examples of the diverse marine life that inhabited Earth's ancient oceans.

This striking specimen features a dark, well-defined exoskeleton with visible segmentation and intricate surface details that contrast beautifully against the lighter surrounding rock. The trilobite measures approximately 3.75 inches long and is displayed naturally on an approximately 4.5 x 3.75 inch matrix, making it an impressive addition to any fossil collection, display, or educational setting.

A Certificate of Authenticity from Tyrannostorus is included.
