1.9" Symphysurus Trilobites With Preserved Antennae & Gut Trace
This is a 1.9" Symphysurus trilobite with both antennae preserved. Preservation of soft parts on trilobites is extremely rare, but they are occasionally found in the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. This is one of the better Symphysurus I've seen with antennae.
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.
