2.55" Flying Hollardops Trilobite With Cyphaspis - Orange Eyes!
This is a stunning trilobite specimen from Ofaten, Morocco. There is a 2.55" long Hollardops naturally associated with a spiny, 1.3" long Cyphaspis. They both have a multi-toned shell coloration, a feature often seen at this locality. The eyes of the Hollardops are also a bright orange coloration.
Both trilobites have been prepared so that they appear to fly above the limestone. A very impressive piece with only about 1-2% 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.
