13.2" Cluster Of Large, Black Shelled Calymene Trilobites - Morocco
This is a 13.2" wide cluster of large, black-shelled Flexicalymene triobites from Morocco. Most of the calymene trilobites you see from Morocco are preserved as internal molds and don't have any shell. These ones are in hard limestone, and have a thick, black shell. All the trilobites are laid out prone, five dorsal and one ventral with the largest being 3.55" long. One specimen has restoration along it's axis and on the center of it's head, and there is some minor restoration along repaired cracks on others.
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.
