3.7" Colorful Crotalocephalina Trilobite With Zlichovaspis
This is a really cool natural, trilobite association from the Lhandar Formation near Atchana, Morocco. There is a large and colorful, 3.7" long Crotalocephalina gibbus along with a 2.7" Zlichovaspis rugosa. The hard limestone has been artistically sculpted to present the trilobites well. Total restoration is about 1-2% on the Crotalocephalina along repaired cracks and the Zlichovaspis 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.
