1.1" New Type Of Harpes Trilobite - Ouzina, Morocco
This is a gorgeous specimen of what may be a new species of Harpes trilobite from Ouzina, Morocco. It measures 1.1" long, has a very wide head-shield. This is one of only a few of this species I have been able to acquire over the past year.
It has about 4% shell restoration, mainly on the front of its glabella.

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.
