Beautiful, Large, Double Asaphid Trilobite Plate - Fezouata Formation
This is a beautiful, double plate of large Asaphid trilobites from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. This piece had been in my personal collection until recently, but I need to make room for some new material.
The larger of the two trilobites is 4.8" long, the smaller is 3.5" and the shale measure 21 x 8.4". The rock and the trilobites are quite colorful and aesthetic.

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.
