2.9" Crotalocephalina Trilobite - Beautiful Shell Quality
This is a beautifully preserved, 2.9" long (if outstretched) specimen on Crotalocephalina gibbus from Atchana, Morocco. The shell quality on this specimen is particularly nice and it has been well prepared so that it looks like it is going to crawl off the rock. The only restoration is one or two minor touchups along repaired cracks, less than 1%
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.
