15" Line Of Eight Asaphellus Trilobites - Morocco
This is a really cool piece from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. It is a cluster of eight Asaphellus trilobites preserved in a line. The largest of the trilobites measures about 3" in length and the entire piece is 15 x 5.5". Total restoration is about 2-3% along repaired cracks.
It has been theorized that the lines of trilobites sometimes found in this formation represent migratory behavior in the fossil record. A paper was published last year, describing similar fossils from this same locality.
480-million-year-old trilobite ‘traffic jams’ may reveal ancient migratory behavior
It comes with a display stand.

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.
