This is a super spiny, 3.7" long Drotops armatus (long-spined variety) trilobite collected near Mrakib, Morocco. Unlike the majority of the specimens on the market every spine is real and they have not been reattached. In fact this specimen has NO RESTORATION, just two crack repairs.
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.
