Three Onnia Trilobite Fossils - Blekos, Morocco
This is a small grouping of Onnia superba trilobite fossils from Blekos, Morocco. There is a complete individual meassuring .7", a disarticulated specimen measuring 1" and a head without a body. The preservation and preparation on all of them is quite nice.
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.
