Double Scotoharpes Trilobite Specimen - Boudib, Morocco
This is a pair of naturally associated harpid (Scotoharpes sp) trilobites from the El Otfal Formation near Boudib, Morocco. Each one measures about 1.7" in length and it is well prepared. The front very front of the head-shield on each one is unfortunately just running off of the rock. There is only about 1% restoration in total.
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.
