Two Coltraneia Trilobites With Hollardops - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a really sweet association of two, bug-eyed Coltraneia trilobites along with a Hollardops. It was quarries near Ofaten Mountain in Morocco. The larger, slightly curled Coltraneia 2" long and the smaller, prone one is 1.7" long. The piece is well prepared with less than 1% shell restoration in total.
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.
