.8" Dalejeproetus Trilobite With Microfossils - Lghaft, Morocco
This is an interesting Dalejeproetus trilobite from the Lhandar Formation of Morocco. This is a pretty uncommon species of proetid and the preparation on this specimen is quite nice.
What is interesting about the specimen, is all of the micro fossils in the surrounding rock have been carefully exposed rather than just "blowing" them away during preparation. This added many hours to the overall preparation time, but provides a view into something typically not seen. The microfossils primarily include small corals, gastropods and other fragments.

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.
