Sierraman Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Trilobites are common in Northern Africa and prolific in Morocco but are scarce and very hard to find in the Middle East. Despite their rarity, extensive fieldtrips in Jordan to promissing localities proved worthwhile, we literally managed to find the first articulated trilobites in the Middle East in early mid Cambrian outcrops. Following is a link to the video I made documenting fieldtrips to the beautiful locality and some of the finds, enjoy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Very nice video, the color of the stones and those landscapes remind me of what i've seen in Algeria in the north of Sahara desert.
