Beautiful Cluster of Pedinopariops Trilobites - Mrakib, Morocco

This is a beautiful cluster of two (and a half) Pedinopariops vagabundus trilobite fossils collected near Mrakib, Morocco. The largest has slightly curled preservation while the smaller specimen is almost completely enrolled, and the partial is missing some segments and its pygidium. Excellent eye facet detail across the eyes of each specimen. If outstretched, the two complete trilobites would measure approximately 1.6" and 2.1". Neither of the complete specimens have restoration, though the partial specimen has about 8% restoration.

Comes with a display stand.

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.
