1.1" Kayserops Trilobite - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a 1.1" long Asteropygine trilobite from the Bou Dib Formation near Mrakib, Morocco. It comes out of the horizon
frequently collected for the "devil horned" Cyphaspis and Gerastos, but they are much more uncommon to find. I believe it is probably a Kayserops but as far as I can find it has not been described yet.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
