Moroccan Flexycalymene Trilobites

Gorgeous little Moroccan flexycalymene trilobites - perfect for the start of a collection. These specimens usually have most of the exoskeleton intact.

For the price, we think these are some of the better Trilobite specimens you can find online - they're fairly large and have a decent amount of detail. They don't have the detail of the finest specimens, of course.

Calymene refers to a member of the Phacopida order of Trilobites, which lived from the Late Cambrian to Late Devonian ages, approximately 400-450 million years ago.

Moroccan fossils are often repaired, faked, or made up of multiple pieces of different fossils. These ones may be repaired - typically glued together from where they'd been broken in the ground, or during extraction. We do actually sell broken Trilobite pieces with obvious evidence of glueing and repairs; perfect if you'd like to show students how to spot faked fossils.

Frequently asked questions and delivery information

How do we grade stones?

There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.

How does our ordering and delivery process work?

You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.

I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.

How do international orders work?

After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
