Joseh Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Sorry for my poor English. I inherited a large trilobite from Morocco. Size 22 x 34 cm approx, weight 6 kilos.

Shamalama Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Neat to see a fossil like that with the partially dis-articulated thorax segments. Unless those are carved and not real. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.
