1" Spiny Leonaspis Trilobite - Exquisite Preparation
Please note: While we typically ship out material within 2 business days there will be a delay of approximately 2-3 days before we can ship this specimen. It's part of a lot of material currently in transit back to our primary shipping warehouse.
This is a superbly prepared Leonaspis from Mrakib, Morocco. The preparation is top notch, having been done by one of the best preparators in the world and the rock has been left natural, free of tools marks. Even the tiny rows of spines are preserved on the segments, a feature you almost never see on the trilobites, because they are air abraded away.
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.
