Reedops spec. belongs to the trunk of the limbs and the family of the Phacopidae. This trilobit (Dreilapper) lived in the Unterdevon about 410 million years ago and was preserved in Alnif's limestone layers in Morocco and was first described by judges and judges in 1925. The fossils of this kind are usually only visible as a cross -section when the rock opened, which is why they were often glued before the preparation. Only through time -consuming exposure is the impressive structure of the fossil visible. The copy presented here was professionally prepared from its natural rock association and shows all characteristic features of a well -preserved trilobits, including the segmented body structure and the fine surface drawing. A fascinating relic from the Devon, which impressively documents the variety of arthropods living world of this time.
