2.75" Rare Treveropyge Trilobite - Exceptional Specimen
This is a rare 2.75" Treveropyge maura trilobite from Issoumour, Morocco—a species we’ve only offered a handful of times in the past decade. The preservation is outstanding, and the expert preparation highlights every fine detail of this hardly seen trilobite.
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.
