2.5" Ordovician Foulonia Trilobite With Cephalopod
This is an excellent 2.5" specimen of Foulonia from the Upper Fezouata Formation in Morocco. The orange/rust coloration is natural and due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. This specimen is nicely inflated. There is also a fossil cephalopod associated with it.
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.
