3" Pedinopariops Trilobite With Partial - Mrakib, Morocco

This is a 3" long specimen of Pedinopariops (Hypsipariops) vagabundus from Mrakib, Morocco. It's nicely laid out with good eye facet detail and just a little bit of shell weathering on the upper/left hand side of the thorax.

There is a second, partial specimen right in front of it. The partial specimen has some shell restoration on its head along the repaired crack.

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.
