3.7" Spiny Dicranurus Trilobite - Atchana, Morocco
This is a large, 3.7" wide example of the bizarre spiny trilobite Dicranurus monstrosus with its distinctive "rams horns". It was collected from the Lhandar Formation near Atchana, Morocco and is nicely prepared. There is a bit of disarticulation but the quality of preparation is extremely nice with only about 1% restoration in total.
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.
