3" Flying Crotalocephalina Trilobite with Reedops
This is a stunning association of a beautiful, 3" long Crotalocephalina gibbus trilobite with a similarly sized Reedops. The piece has been prepared by removing all of the hard limestone surrounding it, leaving flying on a pedestal of rock. A really impressive display piece with only about 2% shell restoration in total.
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.
