Bargain, 1.45" Prone Scotoharpes Trilobite - Boudib, Morocco
This is a bargain, 1.45" long, prone Harpid (Scotoharpes sp.) trilobite from the El Otfal Formation near Boudib, Morocco. This particular specimen is bargain priced because it appears to be a composite, that is, the head and body are from different trilobites that were put back together during preparation. Otherwise it does not have any restoration.
This piece comes with an acrylic display stand.

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.
