1" Diademaproetus Trilobite - Rock Removed Under Shell (Translucent)
This is a stunningly prepared example of Diademaproetus praecursor from the Timrhanrhart Formation of Morocco. This exquisite, proetid trilobite has had nearly all of the limestone removed from underneath its shell during preparation. This causes it to appear translucent and glow when back lit. A very fascinating specimen.
There is about 2% shell restoration along a repaired crack running up the right side of its body.

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.
