2.1" Spiny Delocare (Saharops) Trilobite - Excellent Shell Quality
This is a very nice 2.1" long Delocare (Saharops) bensaidi trilobite quarried at Bou Lachrhal, Morocco. The preservation and preparation on this specimen is fantastic. It has much better shell detail than most of the trilobites from this locality and the eye facets are clear in both eyes. Genal spines and around the edge of the head have been prepared free of the surrounding limestone. Less than 1% restoration along repaired cracks. A fantastic specimen of a fairly scarce species.
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.
