2.55" Spiny Zlichovaspis Trilobite - Excellent Preparation
This is a very nicely prepared, 2.55" long, spiny Zlichovaspis trilobite from the Lhandar Formation of Morocco. It is 2.55" long with excellent preparation and dozens of tiny spines covering its shell. There is the head of a second specimen leaning up against its thorax. One of the better examples of the species that I have seen.
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.
