.95" Rare Red Cyphaspides Trilobite - Hamar Laghdad, Morocco
This is a rare red Cyphaspides ammari trilobite collected near Hamar Laghdad, Morocco. It is .95" long and laid out nicely. The red coloration is due to high levels of iron in the silicified exoskeleton. The trilobites are hard to find complete at this location.
This is only the third red Cyphaspides I have seen, and by far the best. According to my sources, the locality has been collected out recently, so the there probably won't be many more of these red trilobites coming onto the market.
This particular species was just described in 2019; a link to the paper is below.

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.
