1.75" New Type Of Harpes Trilobite - Ouzina, Morocco
This is a stunning specimen of what maybe a new species of Harpes trilobite from Ouzina, Morocco. This is the first example of the species I have had, and I was told only 4 or 5 of them were found at the location. The preservation, shell color and preparation on this specimen is fantastic. It measures 1.75" long, has a very wide head-shield and it nicely presented on a large piece of limestone.
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.
