An incredibly Boedaspis trilobite fossil. This rare species is arguably one of the most impressive trilobites in the world. Over a month of preparation work went into extracting it from the surrounding limestone by a master fossil preparitor. It’s done using low pressure air abrasives and airscribes under microscope.

palaeoartTime for another time lapse video of the preparation of a Phacops species of Trilobite from Ofaten, Morocco. This trilobite is from the Middle Devonian – 365 million years ago! The matrix was incredibly tough so took a while to work out. Sorry for twisting and turning the rock so many times. Hope you don’t get motion-sickness watching it!!!palaeoartTime for another time lapse video of the preparation of a Phacops species of Trilobite from Ofaten, Morocco.
