Bargain, 3.5" Inflated Wenndorfia Trilobite - Composite Head
This is an uncommon Wenndorfia plana trilobite from Bou Lachrhal, Morocco. This specimen is 3.5" long and extremely inflated. The shell nearly always flakes badly on this species during collection, but restoration on this example is pretty minimal. About 3% in total, a patch on the tail and some on the left cheek.
This specimen is a bargain specimen, because the head is a composite from another specimen.

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.
