2.4" Flying Hollardops Trilobite - Foum Zguid, Morocco
This is a 2.4" long, chocolate brown trilobite (Hollardops mesocristata) trilobite collected from the Timrhanrhart Formation near Foum Zguid, Morocco. Nearly all of the limestone surrounding it has been removed during preparation leaving it "flying" above the rock on a pedastal of limestone. Excellent detail including clean eye facets in both eyes. Total restoration is about 2% in total, primarily on the right genal spine.
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.
