You are bidding on a magnificent Fossil Trilobite, Hollardops , from Morocco. Hollardops lived during the Devonian on a prehistoric ocean floor, which is now part of the Atlas mountains of Morocco.This beautiful specimen is authentic. The limestone in which the fossil is embedded is extremely hard. The best way to find these fossils is to hit the chunk of rock with a hammer. When it splits the fossil is revealed. The fossil is then prepped out, in this case with a hammer and a nail (hence the marks on the surface of the rock).On the underside the rock has been repaired, but does not seem to have compromised the fossil. The fossil measures 2.5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. The entire specimen measures 3.4 inches long and, 2.7 inches wide and 1.5 inches deep. The fossil is black whereas the matrix is a greyish brown color.It is truly a beautiful specimen, offered at a very reasonable price.
