3.4" Zlichovaspis With Pseudocryphaeus & Reedops - Top Quality
This is a gorgeous 3.4" long Zlichovaspis trilobite associated with a partially enrolled Pseudocryphaeus minimus and Reedops. It has dark brown shell preservation and excellent detail including visible eye facets in both eyes. This is a top quality piece that came out of my own, personal collection. It has no restoration.
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.
