 Description: A wonderful assemblage of trilobites and anomalocarids. Expertly cleaned using a hammer drill and sandblasting. The fossils are well-preserved, 100% natural, and have not been restored or painted.
 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.
