Product Details

From the Devonian; Eifelian Lilac Shales, near Alnif, Moriocco, is a sharply preserved positive and negative pair of the Odontopleurid Leonaspis (Leonaspis) cf. pigra (Barrande, 1872).

Missing only the librigena, this otherwise articulated specimen shows all of the pleural and pygidial margin spines to be intact, with original shell material. The cranidium also shows good surface ornamentation, and will prepare further too.

Affordable price for an attractive positive and negative example opf a scarse and localised trilobite.

Welcome to Ace Fossils

Although I sell a very wide range of fossils from Pre- Cambrian to Pleistocene age, I specialize in trilobites from all over the globe and in particular, British species.

I collect regularly in the UK, with more than forty five years of fieldwork experience and probably the best working knowledge of British trilobite localities. I have a doctorate and a masters degree in trilobite taxonomy and British Palaeozoic stratigraphy and an Open University degree in Natural Sciences.

If you are an amateur collector, a more serious scientific collector, or an agent for an educational organization ( e.g College, University or Museum), I can supply materials to suit your needs! I also buy whole collections and trade materials too. Visits are welcome,by appointment only.
