2.9" Paralejurus Trilobite With Microfossils - Lghaft, Morocco
This is a beautiful, 2.9" long, chocolate brown Paralejurus collected near Lghaft, Morocco. It's laid out perfectly prone and superbly prepared. A unique aspect of this piece is quite a few microfossils (gastropods, ammonoids, corals) are also present both on top of the trilobite and in the surrounding rock. A lot of care was taken to leave these fossils in place during preparation and not destroy them.
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.
