2.1" Uncommon Crotalocephalus Trilobite - Morocco
This is an uncommon, 2.1" long Crotalocephalus trilobite from the Bou Tchrafine Formation of Morocco. This species is much rarer than the typical Crotalocephalina trilobites that you see from Morocco. This specimen is laid out prone with nice preparation and no 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.
