3.7" Spiny Psychopyge Trilobite - Issoumour, Morocco
This is a rare, 3.7" long Psychopyge trilobite from Issoumour, Morocco. There is weathering to the front of the head and its distinctive rostrum is missing due to this weathering. The rest of the trilobite is in excellent condition with nice preparation and free-standing spines.
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.
