2.4" Nice Spiny Comura Trilobite With Morocops

This is a 2.4" long Comura bultyncki trilobite naturally associated with a Morocops. The left side of the Comura has some compression but it has nice preparation.

There is some shell restoration on the head of the Comura and 5 or 6 spines are restored. Nice preparation overall on this piece.

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.
