Description: Large specimens. Both retain their antennae, a very rare feature and the reason this site is known worldwide. Cleaning carried out by expert hands using a hammer drill and sandblasting. Well-preserved fossils, 100% natural, without restoration or painting.
More information: The Fezouata Formation or Fezouata Shale contains extraordinary fossils because the animals were quickly buried by storm deposits made of silts and clays, conditions favorable for the preservation of soft tissues (now pyritized or altered due to a mixture of iron oxides and hydroxides, hence their orange-red color)
The fossils belong to two intervals, Tremadocian and Floian, which is much less rich in fossils.
