3.8" Beautiful Zlichovaspis Trilobite With Enrolled Reedops
This is a stunning association of an exceptionally nice Zlichovaspis rugosa trilobite along with an enrolled Reedops. It was collected from the Lhandar Formation near Atchana, Morocco. The Zlichovaspis is slightly arched but would be over 4" long if outstretched and has a gorgeous, multi-colored shell. Preparation is excellent and the genal spines have been prepared free-standing. There is an enrolled reedops just to the side of its tail. A very aesthetic trilobite association with NO RESTORATION, a top quality piece.
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.
