Two Large Pedinopariops Trilobites - Top Quality Specimen
This is a pair of large, 4"+ Pedinopariops vagabundus trilobites from the Bou Dib Formation at Mrakib, Morocco. It is a really aesthetic piece that stands up nicely on a hard surface without the need for a display stand. Excellent shell detail and preparation on this piece with only about 2-3% shell restoration.
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.
