3.1" Pedinopariops Trilobite - Great Eye Facet Detail
This is a large, 3.1" long (if outstretched) specimen of Pedinopariops (Hypsipariops) vagabundus from Mrakib, Morocco. It has a naturally multi-toned shell restoration and is well prepared with clear eye facets. There is about 2-3% shell restoration, primarily in one patch on the left cheek below the eye. The specimen looks like it is ready to crawl off of the rock.
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.
