10.4" Plate Of Foulonia & Asaphellus Trilobites - Fezouata Formation
This is a really impressive plate of Foulonia and Asaphellus trilobites from the Upper Fezouata Formation of Morocco. It contains three Foulonia trilobites and a pair of Asaphellus. All of the trilobites are around 2 1/2" in length and have a rust-red coloration due to the oxidization of iron pyrite which originally preserved the trilobites. The rock around and underneath the trilobites has been removed so they appear to fly above the shale. It is an incredibly time consuming and delicate procedure but the results are phenomenal. The entire piece measures 10.4 x 7.2".

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.
