25 x 21" Mortality Plate Of Large Asaphid Trilobites - Taouz, Morocco
This is a mass mortality plate of large Asaphid trilobites along with some cephalopods from the Ordovician Period found near Taouz, Morocco. The plate is 25" wide and there are around 12 complete or near complete trilobites along with many partials and a few cephalopods. The largest of the trilobites measures 5.6" long and there is a mix of dorsal and ventrally preserved specimens. The orange coloration is due to the oxidization of iron pyrite.
There is no significant restoration on the plate which makes for a very impressive display. A stand is included or we can add a backing plate and wall hanger upon request for an additional fee.

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.
