1.5" Lichid Trilobite (Echinolichas?) Hypostome - Oklahoma
This is a large, 1.5" wide, hypostome (mouthplate) of a giant, undescribed lichid trilobite from the Haragan Formation of Oklahoma. Over the past 30+ years of digging at the Black Cat Mountain quarry only fragments of this elusive trilobite has been occasionally found. It's believe that it has affinities to Echinolichas, but without more complete material that is uncertain. This trilobite, was likely the largest in the formation, possibly reaching sizes of close to a foot in length.
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.
