Cluster Of Four Foulonia Trilobite Fossils - Fezouata Formation

This is a cluster of four, well prepared Foulonia trilobites from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. They are all about 2 1/2" long and nicely inflated. The rust colored preservation contrasts nicely against the surrounding shale. Total restoration is about 3% along repaired cracks.

Includes an acrylic 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.
