.85" Superb Lichid Trilobite (Akantharges) - Tinejdad, Morocco
This is a beautiful, .85" long specimen of an unusual lichid (Akantharges mbareki) trilobite collected near Tinejdad, Morocco. These Akantharges are slightly different from the much more available Basseiarges trilobites mainly coming from Jorf. They have become few and far between on the market because the site is no longer collectable. This is a particularly well prepared specimen.
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.
