1.25" Bubble-Nose Actinopeltis Trilobite In Concretion - Rare Species
This is a rare, bubble-nosed Actinopeltis trilobite preserved inside of a concretion. It comes from the Upper Ktaoua Formation near Jbel Ougnate, Morocco. The Actinopeltis is nicely preserved and is associated with several, partial, unidentified trilobites. Both halves of the nodule are included.
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.
