1.9" Zlichovaspis Trilobite - Great Eye Facets and Shell

This is a detailed, 1.9" long Zlichovaspis trilobite from Morocco. It has really nice shell detail including clean eye facets in both eyes. The edges of the thorax are still covered in limestone which is the reason for the bargain price on this specimen.

The only restoration is a few small touchups along the repaired crack running up the left hand side of the body.

About Trilobites

Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
