Four Gerastos Trilobite Fossils With Cyphaspis - Morocco
This is a natural association of five trilobite fossils, four Gerastos and one spiny Cyphaspis. The hard limestone has been sculpted in a way to present them in an aesthetic manner. The base of the rock has been cut flat so that it stands up without the need for a stand. Total restoration on this piece is about 2-3%
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.
