This is an absolutely incredible mortality plate of this species of Trilobite. Daicalymene lived approximately 440 million years ago during the Ordovician and places this Trilobite as one the the first species that lived. These types of Trilobites are usually found in miserable condition but this mortality plate features 11 superbly detailed fossils. Found in North Africa, Ktaoua Fm, Tazoulait, Morocco. You will also notice that the cut edge is the same matrix that is found on the surface of this fossil which is revealed when exposed or cut..the Pinky brown concretion is the top layer formed over millions of years...just a beautiful piece that has been expertly cut and enhanced for your enjoyment.
