Cambropallas telesto - trilobite fossil #6-004

Cambropallas telesto, trilobite fossil collected from the Tinejdad area, Morocco. Cambrian era.

This trilobite has been reconstructed approximately 20%. This is common in this type of trilobites, because the matrix is solid, while the fossil is fragile. When it is prepared, parts of the fossil are damaged, small parts are lost, they crumble, and returning them to their place becomes very difficult. Therefore, those parts are crushed until they become powder, and the trilobite is restored with this powder.
