Rare, 2.6" Spiny Psychopyge Trilobite - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a rare, 2.6" long Psychopyge trilobite collected near Ofaten, Morocco. I'm not 100% confident on the species but Psychopyge termierorum seams to be the closest match. It typically has a longer rostrum, but I relieve the end of the rostrum might be missing in this example. It has a few dozen free-standing spines and a natural, multi-toned shell coloration. Total restoration is less than 1%
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.
