FOSSIL AGLASPIDS FOR SALE
Aglaspids are an extinct group of ancient arthropods that thrived from the Cambrian to the Ordovician periods, roughly 500 to 480 million years ago. These unusual creatures had a body shape that looked like a cross between early trilobites and modern horseshoe crabs, featuring a distinct, broad head shield, a segmented midsection, and a tapering tail spine.
Thought to have been bottom-dwellers, aglaspids likely scavenged or hunted small marine animals along the ocean floor. Their fossils are relatively rare and are primarily found in North American Cambrian rock formations, though they may have lived in various ancient seas around the world. These fossils provide key insights into the diversity and evolutionary development of early arthropods.
