Two Stunningly Prepared Foulonia Trilobites With Two Lonchodomas

This is a trilobite fossil where the preparation just leaves you in awe. It features a pair of large Foulonia trilobites and a pair of Lonchodomas trilobites from the Upper Fezouata Formation of Morocco. They are all quite large for the species with the large Foulonia being 2.9"

The preparation this piece is phenomenal with several of the trilobites been undercut to bring them out in high relief against the rock. A really aesthetic display piece.

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.
