1.65" Scabriscutellum Trilobite - Axial Nodes & Eye Facets
This is a nicely prepared, 1.65" long, Scabriscutellum trilobite from Morocco. Excellent shell detail including thousands of tiny eye facets are present. Nice shell preservation with tiny axial nodes preserved and tiny eye facets in both eyes. Some shell restoration along the repaired crack through the middle of the tail.
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.
