1.3" Hollardops Trilobite - Great Eyes
This is a nicely prepared 1.3" long Hollardops mesocristata from Issoumour, Morocco. It's nicely detailed and the genal spines have been prepared free of the surrounding rock. There is a bit of damage to the right genal spine.
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.
