1.8" Detailed Hollardops Trilobite - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a detailed, 1.8" long Hollardops trilobite fossil from Morocco. The limestone has been carefully removed from around the follow leaving it in high relief against the rock. Excellent preservation of facets in the left eye, though the right eye is damaged. About 3-4% shell restoration on the right side of its head.
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.
