2.15" Detailed Austerops Trilobite - Large Eyes
This is a 2.15" long Austerops trilobite fossil from Morocco. It has great shell detail including nice eye facets in both eyes. The preparation is a bit rough leaving some scratches on the shell, hence the bargain prie.
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.
