4.6" Rare, Kierarges Trilobites - Fezouata Formation
This is a large, 4.6" example of a fairly rare Asaphid trilobite from the Fezouata Formation, Kierarges morrisoni (Corbacho, 2014). It is nicely prepared and centered on a 8 x 7.5" piece of shale with no restoration. The red/orange color is natural and do to oxidization of pyrite which originally preserved the specimen.

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.
