1.1" Red Lehua Trilobite With Pos/Neg - Fezouata Formation
This is a nicely preserved, 1.1" long, red Lehua trilobite from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. It split out nicely and both the positive and negative impressions of the trilobite is included. The red coloration is natural and due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. There is a little bit of restoration to the very front of the head on the positive side.
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.
