1" Spiny Leonaspis Trilobite - Top Quality Preparation
This is a 1" long, spiny Leonaspis haddanei trilobite from the Timrhanrhart Formation near Foum Zguid, Morocco. It features a rich, chocolate-brown shell with crisp detail, and the preparation work is outstanding—each spine cleanly exposed and well defined. There is no restoration on this small but striking specimen.
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.
