2.7" Kayserops Trilobite With Brachiopods - Bou Lachrhal, Morocco
This is a 2.7" long Kayserops megaspina trilobite from Bou Lachrhal, Morocco. While it is naturally missing some spine tips (lost prior to fossilization) it's nicely prepared with clean eye facets in both eyes. There is a brachiopod fossil next to the left genal spine and a larger brachiopod underneath it's head.
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.
