Dicranurus Devonian Morocco This highly animated trilobite presentation gives the impression of a living creature crawling over the surface of the smoothed matrix. Requiring numerous hours of arduous preparation, the two curved spines extending over its head have been freed from matrix, imparting an amazingly lifelike appearance. Spines were an evolutionary advantage to trilobites as defense against the carnivorous worms and other toothless predatory sea creatures that existed more than 375 million years ago. Specimen measures 4 x 3 1/2in; matrix measures 4 x 4in
