3.8" Huge Crotalocephalina Trilobite With Reedops - Lghaft, Morocco
This is a natural association of two species of trilobites collected from the Lhandar Formation near Lghaft, Morocco. There is a huge, 3.8" long, Crotalocephalina along along with a smaller Reedops. You don't see that many Crotalocephalina from Lghaft as most are collected near Atchana and have slightly different preservation. The preparation on this piece is amazing.
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.
