19" Line Of Lonchodomas Trilobites Showing Migrating Behavior
This spectacular trilobite mortality plate captures what appears to be preserved migratory behavior among these ancient arthropods. Measuring 19 inches wide, the plate features a striking linear arrangement of 26 Lonchodomas trilobites all oriented in the same general direction, accompanied by several Asaphellus and Bathycheilus specimens. Collected from the Lower Ordovician Fezouata Formation near Zagora, Morocco, this remarkable piece has been expertly prepared, with only a few minute areas of restoration.

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.
