4.2" Psychopyge Termierorum Trilobite With Morocconites
This is a spectacular association of two different types of trilobites from the Middle Devonian deposits near Ofaten, Morocco. Central to this piece is rare, spiny 4.2" long Psychopyge termierorum trilobite with a super long rostrum. It's slightly curled but the preparation is fantastic with dozens of free standing spines and less than 1% restoration. On the other side of the pillar of rock is a 3" long Morocconites malladoides with a natural, multi-toned shell coloration. It also has less than 1% shell restoration.
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.
