2.4" Spectacular Minicryphaeus Trilobite - Tafraoute, Morocco
This is a spectacularly prepared example of a fairly rare Minicryphaeus giganteus trilobite from Tafraoute, Morocco.
This is a rather odd trilobite from Morocco sporting a triangle shaped rostrum on its head. The trilobite is amazingly detailed and nearly all of the rock has been removed around it, so that it appears to fly above it's stone base on a pillar of limestone. No restoration on this fantastic specimen.

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.
