2.35" Beautiful Morocops Trilobite - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a beautiful, 2.35" long Morocops trilobite from Ofaten, Morocco. It has good preparation and eye facet preservation in both eyes. It has a natural, multi-toned shell coloration which is sometimes seen on trilobites from this locality. Only two small spots of shell restoration along the axis.
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 with over 25k currently described species, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to a hard exoskeleton (shell), they left an excellent fossil record.
