3.7" Rare Treveropyge Berbera Trilobite - Exceptional Specimen
This is a rare, 3.7" long Treveropyge berbera trilobite from Bou Lachrhal, Morocco. This species is quite rare and we've only had a few specimens for sale over the past decade. The preservation and preparation on this specimen is very nice and it is huge for the species. It has about 3% shell restoration, mainly on the left hand side of its thorax.
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.
