4.7" Megistaspis Trilobite, Symphysurus, Colpocoryphe & Graptolites
This is a beautiful, 4.7" long Megistaspis trilobite preserved alongside two additional trilobites (Symphysurus & Colpocoryphe>), the segments and pygidium of another Megistaspis, and graptolites of the species Araneograptus murrayi. A truly stunning natural fossil association collected from the Fezouata Formation in the Zagora area of Morocco.
Comes with a metal display stand.
There are a few repaired cracks through the specimen, many of which went through the Megistaspis. There is about 2-3% restoration along these repairs.

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.
