Featured here is an impressive NATURAL DOUBLE AND LARGE fossil trilobite of the species Cambropallas telesto.  Cambropallas was a giant of the Cambrian Period, one of the largest trilobites of its time.  This natural double specimen shows wonderful detail and has a slightly overlapping articulation to both trilobites.  Over the years, this has been one of the most faked trilobites of the fossil industry in Morocco but this example shows excellent natural detail with minor restoration, to separate it from the truckloads of fakes that still plague the market.  There is only 5-7% surface restoration to areas that were damaged when the rock was split to reveal this large double fossil.  

If you have always held out owning this species because you have been discouraged by the inferior quality specimens out there, then consider this wonderful display piece showing TWO that died and became fossilized together, nearly a half a billion years ago!
