2" Phacopid Trilobite - Surrounding Rock Removed
This is a detailed, 2" long (if outstretched) phacopid trilobite (exact genus unknown) from Morocco. It's nicely detailed and nearly all of the surrounding rock has been removed so that it sits nicely on a flat surface. Visible eye facets in both eyes though it has a heavy sealant coating it which adds some gloss to it.
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.
