1.25" Long-Spined Cyphaspis Trilobite - One Half Prepared
I specially requested to have some trilobites specimens prepared with only half of the trilobite exposed, while the other half remained fully encased in the limestone. These are an interesting demonstration to show, that yes these really are a fossil, found fully encased in hard limestone.
This a 1.25" long (including genal spines), long-spined Cyphaspis eberhardiei trilobite quarried from the Timrhanhart Formation at Foum Zguid, Morocco.

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.
