Line of Twelve Trilobites (3 Species) - Fezouata Formation

This is a line of 12 (24 total including partials) well-preserved trilobites from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. There are two Foulonia trilobites, a cluster of small Euloma fossils, and the remaining specimens are Asaphellus. A straight-bodied cephalopod can be found on one end of the plate as well. Trilobites from this locality are often found in lines, which has sometimes been interpreted as fossilized migratory behavior. We tend to think it's more likely the orientation is due to currents sweeping the trilobites into wave depressions in the ocean floor.

The entire piece measures 35 x 7.7" and the trilobites are between .45" and 2.9" in length. Preparation is very good and there is some minor restoration along repaired cracks. It comes with a display stand.
