2.8" Flying Paralejurus Trilobite - Orange Eye Preservation!
This is an amazing, 2.8" long Paralejurus trilobite quarried at Atchana, Morocco. It has been prepared so that it flies above the limestone on a pillar of stone. Both eyes have orange, eye facet preservation, a feature occasionally seen on trilobites from this locality. This trilobite is basically pristine with no 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.
