4.3" Acadoparadoxides Trilobite - Stunning Preservation
This is a gorgeous, bright orange, 4.3" long Acadoparadoxides levisettii (Geyer & Vincent, 2014) trilobite. This is not one of those heavily restored, or completely fake specimens sold by many dealers.
It comes from the basal layers of the Jbel Wawrmast Formation in Southern Morocco. It has a natural, orange coloration due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. There is some restoration to the ends of some pleural tips where the shell tends to come off on the negative.
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.
