1.65" Morocops (Barrandeops) Trilobite - Jorf, Morocco
This is a really nice, 1.65" Morocops (formerly Barrandeops) trilobite collected from Jorf, Morocco. The rock here is very chert-like with a glassy appearance. The shell is translucent so the trilobites tend to take on the coloration of the underlying rock, leading to very uniquely preserved specimens.
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.
