3.6" Colorful Crotalocephalina Trilobite with Enrolled Reedops
This is a pair of two different species of trilobites from the Lhandar Formation of Morocco. There is a 2.9" long Crotalocephalina gibbus with exposed hypostome (mouth-plate) along with a curled Reedops. They both have colorful shell preservation and 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.
