Double Hollardops Trilobite Specimen - Excellent Preparation

This is a fantastically prepared pair of Hollardops trilobites from the Lower Devonian of Morocco. The large specimen is about 2.4" long and the smaller one is 2.2". Excellent shell detail and clean eye facets on both specimens. Less than 1% shell restoration in total.

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.
