.9" Gorgeous Proetid (Timsaloproetus?) Trilobites - Jorf, Morocco
This is a nicely inflated, .9" long proetid trilobite collected from the Jorf "Red Site" in Morocco. The species is possibly undescribed, but the genus seems to closely match Timsaloproetus. The preservation is outstanding and it has no 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.
