15" Plate With Three Large Phacopid (Pedinopariops) Trilobites
This is a 15" wide piece of limestone containing three complete Pedinopariops vagabundus trilobites. These large, phacopid trilobites are quarried from the Bou Dib Formation near Mrakib, Morocco. There are three Pedinopariops in the cluster along with a head of a forth trilobite. All of the trilobites measure just over 3 inches in length and have excellent eye facet preservation. Total shell restoration on the trilobites is about 2% along repaired cracks.
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.
