3" Spiny Quadrops Trilobite With Paralejurus - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a fantastic association of a spiny Quadrops trilobite along with a Paralejurus. It was quarried from the El Otfal Formation near Ofaten, Morocco. This spectacular piece is well prepared. Nearly all of the spines on the Quadrops have some restoration at their base where they were reattached.
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.
