2.9" Hollardops Trilobite - Large Specimen
This is a large, 2.9" long Hollardops mesocristata from Ofaten, Morocco. Very nice shell preservation and preparation including clean eye facets. No restoration on this specimen. The base of the rock has been cut flat so that it sits nicely on a flat surface.
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.
