6" Cambrian Trilobite (Acadoparadoxides) - Tinjdad, Morocco
This is an elegant 6" long Acadoparadoxides trilobite. There are several species of Acadoparadoxides from this formation and we're not 100% confident on which one of them this is. It has a natural orange coloration due to the oxidization of iron pyrite.
Unlike many examples of these trilobites this one has relatively little restoration. A few of the pleural tips have been touched up and there is some restoration along the front edge of the head.

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.
