2.8" Bathyuriscus Fimbiatus Trilobite With Cheeks - Utah
While Bathyuriscus fimbiatus is considered a common trilobite it is exceedingly difficult to find specimens that are not molts and still have their cheeks attached. This is one of those 1 out of 1,000 which still has it's cheeks preserved. This came out of an old collection we recently purchased.
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.
