1.2" Cambrian (Kingaspidoides?) Trilobite - (Special Price)
This is only the third example of this rare Middle Cambrian trilobite I've seen from the Jebel Wawrmast Formation near Tinjdad, Morocco. I'm not 100% sure on the ID but it does appear to be a Kingaspidoides with it's distinctive occipital spine, and long curved spine off of the last segment. The orange coloration is natural and due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. Definitely one for the species collector.
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.
