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 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.
