Two Crotalocephalina Trilobites - Atchana, Morocco
This is a beautiful association of two colorful Crotalocephalina gibbus trilobites from the Lhandar Formation near Atchana, Morocco. Measuring 2.9" and 2.5" long, both trilobites display excellent detail and have been meticulously prepared to highlight their intricate anatomy and natural coloration. Several additional partial trilobites are also exposed in the surrounding limestone, which has been skillfully sculpted to create an attractive, three-dimensional display.
Both trilobites exhibit exceptional preservation, with less than 1% total restoration, limited to a small area on the head of one specimen.
Includes an acrylic display stand.

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.
