Double Adrisiops Weugi Trilobite Association - Beautiful Shell

This is a double Adrisiops weugi trilobite association with beautiful shell coloration. One specimen is 2.25" long and the other is 1.35" long. Excellent shell detail including clear eye facets in their eyes. Total shell restoration is about 5% on the smaller trilobite and 2% on the larger, mostly on the pleural tips.

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.
