2.3" Pseudocryphaeus Trilobite - Excellent Detail
This is a beautifully prepared example of Pseudocryphaeus from Mrakib, Morocco. Excellent eye facet detail and a chocolate brown shell preservation in this specimen, with the distinctive rostrum. It's related to the much smaller Minicryphaeus which was formerly in the genus Pseudocryphaeus but the rostrum is much shorter relative to the size of the trilobite.
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.
