4" Zlichovaspis Trilobite With Reedops - Multi-Toned Shell
This is a large, Zlichovaspis trilobite which would have been around 4" long if outstretched. It has a backwards arch to it, and a naturally multi-toned shell coloration. It's nicely prepared with the limestone surrounding it removed to leave it in an aesthetic pose. There is a small, enrolled Reedops trilobite also associated with it.
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.
