2.9" Prone Morocops Trilobite - Top Quality Specimen
This is a very large, perfectly prone, 2.9" long Morocops (Barrandeops) trilobite from the Ofaten, Morocco. Top quality preparation on this specimen. Excellent eye facet detail in both eyes and the only restoration is some touchups along the repaired crack running up the axis.
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.
