3.1" Early Cambrian Trilobite (Perrector) - Tazemmourt, Morocco
This is a very large, 3.1" long, very Early Cambrian trilobite (Perrector falloti) from Tazemmourt, Morocco. I have only been able to acquire a small number of these trilobites over the past year and this is one of the better examples. It has been well prepared to bring it out in high relief against the surround shale.
The genus Perrector is synonymous with Richterops and Resserops. While these other two names are more frequently used when referring to this species Perrector is probably the most technically correct.

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.
