2.4" Bumpy Zlichovaspis Trilobite - Great Preparation
This is a nicely prepared specimen of Zlichovaspis spinifera quarried near Lghaft, Morocco. It has a backwards arch to it but would be about 2.4" long if outstretched. The shell of these species is covered in small bumps, hence the species name. Really nice shell preservation and detail including eye facets with no restoration.
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.
