.9" Wide Eldredgeops Trilobite Fossil With Horn Coral - New York
This is a .9" wide, enrolled Eldredgeops trilobite from the Windom Shale of New York. It was cleaned with air abrasives and left partially embedded in the rock it was found in. The trilobite has been remounted on the rock, next to a piece of horn coral (Stereolasma).
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.
