A wonderful example of the Paradoxides acadoparadoxides briareus trilobite measuring 465mm held by the custom bronze mount, our classic range of specimens set into bronze clasps. The specimen can be easily lifted off for study. An absolutely unique specimen with good preservation, the trilobite plate has formed nicely with care throughout preparation which has been evidently taken. A wonderful and natural specimen in such a condition elevates the trilobite to the top echelons in trilobite collecting from this location and time period.  

An exotic Cambrian slab uncovers four Paradoxides acadoparadoxides briareus trilobite within the original bedrock dating 540,000,000 - 500,000,000 years. Capturing the furrows and depths, creating an aesthetic scene of Paradoxide with a unique rustic palette due to iron content caused by iron oxides present within the sediments along with other minerals that contributed to the preservation of the invertebrates exoskeleton. Having evolved during the Pre-Cambrian period and the phylum arthropoda of that time had a complex form of animal life within the oceans, during which the trilobites were diverse and reigned the oceans of the world, lasting over two hundred and seventy million years, finally coming to an end around two hundred and fifty million years ago during the Permian great death; a cataclysmic extinction event that witnessed the demise of almost 90% of life on the planet. These complex crustaceans developed the first compound eye structure with segmented bodies, enabling them to escape danger by enrolling, aiding in their reign for millions of years.
