3" Spiny Psychopyge Trilobite - Short Snout Species
This is a 2.2" long, example of the short snout varienty of Psychopyge. This rare species has a significantly short rostrum, as well as much smaller spines than Psychopyge elegans. The distinctive rostrum and all of the spines have been prepared free standing. There is a bit of separation between some of the segments, hence the reduced price.
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.
