Devil Horned Cyphaspis Trilobite with Scabriscutellum
This is a cool association of two different types of trilobites from Mrakib, Morocco. There is a "devil horned" Cyphaspis walteri next to a Scabriscutellum. Both trilobites are arched over but would be about 1" long it outstretched. There is repaired crack through the tail of the Scabriscutellum but no restoration.
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.
