3.2" Flying Paralejurus Trilobite With Crotalocephalina & Reedops
This is a really special trilobite association from the Lhandar Formation near Atchana, Morocco. It features three different genus of Lower Devonian trilobites in natural association. Central to the piece is a 3.2" long Paralejurus that has been prepared to remove almost all of the surrounding limestone. There is also a 2.8" long Reedops and a smaller 2" long Crotalocephalina.
The preparation is beyond fantastic with total restoration only being around 2%, primarily on the small Crotalocephalina.

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.
