Two Multi-Toned Gerastos Trilobite Fossils - Morocco
This is an elegant association of two beautifully preserved Gerastos trilobites from Ofaten, Morocco. Exhibiting attractive, multi-toned shell coloration, the specimens are aesthetically positioned on a sculptural pillar of natural limestone, creating a distinctive display piece. Total restoration is approximately 1%, confined to a repaired crack.
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.
