1.5" Spiny Koneprusia Trilobite - Foum Zguid, Morocco
This is an nice, 1.5" long specimen of a super spiny trilobite (Koneprusia dahmani.) collected near Foum Zguid, Morocco. It is a very time consuming process to free all of these long spines from their limestone tomb requiring a tremendous amount of skill. A trilobite like this would have probably taken in the area of 30 hours of work under high magnification using air abrasives. All of the spines are real and restoration is about 2% along a repaired crack.
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.
