2.8" Spiny Delocare (Saharops) Trilobite - Bou Lachrhal, Morocco
This is a beautiful specimen of Delocare bensaidi from Bou Lachrhal, Morocco. The preparation is fantastic with excellent eye facet detail and dozens of free-standing, tiny spines. There is about 5% shell restoration as the shell on trilobites from this site tends to peel really badly when split. Overall it's probably the best looking example of this scarce species that we have had.
About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
