3" Excellent Kayserops Trilobite - Bou Lachrhal, Morocco
This is a scarce Kayserops megaspina trilobite collected at Bou Lachrhal, Morocco. In the past this trilobite has often been referred to as “Comura cometa", but it actually bears few similarities with the genus Comura.
This specimen is quite large for the species and very well prepared with all of the spines free-standing. It has about 4-5% shell restoration almost entirely on its glabella.

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.
