Bargain, 2.3" Morocops Trilobite - Bumpy Shell
This is a detailed, 2.3" Morocops (Barrandeops) trilobite from the Devonian of Morocco. It has nice shell detail including very nice eye facets in the right eye and has been prepared with air scribes and air abrasives so that it looks like it is ready to crawl off the rock.
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.
