3.8" Huge Crotalocephalina Trilobite With Reedops - Lghaft, Morocco
This is a natural association of two species of trilobites collected from the Lhandar Formation near Lghaft, Morocco. There is a huge, 3.8" long, Crotalocephalina along along with a smaller Reedops. You don't see that many Crotalocephalina from Lghaft as most are collected near Atchana and have slightly different preservation. The preparation on this piece is amazing.
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.
