1.55" Long-Spined Thysanopeltis Trilobite - Bigaa, Morocco
This is a new type of Thysanopeltis that I've just seen appearing on the market in the past year collected from the area of Taouz, Morocco. It has much more robust spines than are seen in other species of Thysanopeltis. This specimen is 1.55" long and nicely prepared.
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.
