Cluster of Five Crotalocephalina & Reedops - Atchana, Morocco
This is a cluster of five trilobite fossils from the Lower Devonian deposits near Atchana, Morocco. There are three Crotalocephalina gibbus and two Reedops naturally associated in the same rock. The rock has been painstakingly removed from around the trilobites using air scribes and air abrasives.
The largest trilobit4e on this piece would be about 3" long if outstretched and the entire specimens measures 9.3 x 5.9 x 4.4". Total restoration is only about 1% along repaired cracks and it comes with a display stand.

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.
