.85" Rare Akantharges Trilobite - Tinejdad, Morocco
This is a .85" long example of a rare lichid (Akantharges mbareki) trilobite from Tinejdad, Morocco. This site has been closed for several years so this species is getting hard to acquire. It's a pretty good example with nice detail. There is about 5% shell restoration in total.
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.
