.5" Tiny-Eyed Phacopid (Eocryphops) - Jorf, Morocco
This is a small, phacopid trilobite from Jorf, Morocco with only a few eye facets in each eye. I believe it's of the genus Eocryphops but I can not find any description of the genus from Jorf. It's curled but would be around 1/2" long if outstretched. A really unusual phacopid.
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.
