4.15" Pedinopariops Trilobite - Beautiful Shell Coloration
This is a very large, 4.15" long Pedinopariops (Hypsipariops) vagabundus from Mrakib, Morocco. It has a beautiful, multi-toned shell coloration and is nicely prepared. The limestone around it has been sculpted, leaving it displayed very aesthetically on a pedestal of rock. Clear eye facets in both eyes and just some minor restoration along the repaired cracks. A phenomenal example of the species.
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.
