.7" Tropidocoryphe Trilobite - Proetid With Axial Spines
This is a fairly scarce type of Proetid trilobite (Tropidocoryphe) from Morocco. I believe based on the rock, preservation and species it came from the Timrhanrhart Formation near Foum Zguid, but not 100%. It's .7" long and bears small spines on each axial ring. A nice specimen of a hard to find 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.
