1.7" Mrakibina Trilobite With Austerops & Morocops - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a cool association of three different genus' of trilobites from the Tabounaklouf Formation near Mrakib, Morocco. There is a 1.7" long Mrakibina cattoi along with a 1.8" long Morocops and a 1" long Austerops. The genal spines on the Mrakibina have been prepared free-standing. There is only about 1-2% shell restoration in total, primarily along a repaired crack on the Austerops.
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.
