1.25" Multi-Toned Leonaspsis Trilobite With Spiny Cyphaspis
This is a really cool association of two different species of trilobites from Ofaten, Morocco. There is a 1.45" long, multi-toned Leonaspis next to a rare Cyphaspis eximia. All of the spines on the Cyphaspis have been prepared free-standing. There is no restoration on this awesome piece.
About Trilobites
Trilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet: over 25,000 species have been described, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to their hard exoskeletons (shells), they left an excellent fossil record.
