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 are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
