1.8" Metacanthina Trilobite With Reedops - Lghaft, Morocco
This is a gorgeous, 1.8" long specimen of Metacanthina issoumourensis collected near Lghaft, Morocco. It has a beautiful, chocolate brown shell preservation and the preparation is excellent. There is also a similarly sized Reedops associated with it. The preparation is fantastic on this piece with less than 1% restoration.
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.
