Rare Ceratonurus trilobite Presented by Middle England Palaeo > Due to ebay we are only able to put 5 small pictures with our listing. We would like to add far more but the system will not allow, so we have created links to each listing, these are unique, but as we cannot show them , please email for the link and we will send it by return. This should show far more detail and hopefully alleviate some misunderstandings on the description. We have been asked on several occasions about w and how the Moroccan trilobites are found, this description is by no means true of all bugs, but gives a little insight in to how a lot are found They are dug from the south Atlas mountains, t the locals remove huge chunks of rock, some times dynamiting to get in, theses are then transported back to the workshops w they literally break it up into smaller boulders, as they do this, they are constantly looking for tell tale signs of fossils, mainly through shear planes across the trilobite that look like this } (a section through the body), they then remove an amount around the two halves, glue it together and then with various equipment, remove the matrix back to the fossil, as they chip it back, the matrix, splits away from the exoskeleton and thus revealing the bug.
