Bargain, 2.3" Morocops Trilobite With Austerops - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a 2.3" long Morocops trilobite associated with a similarly sized Austerops. You get two different genus of phacopid trilobites on the same piece. The preparation is pretty rough and there is about 10% shell restoration on the Austerops, hence the bargain price.
About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
