.95" Red/Purple Cyphaspis Eximia Trilobite - Zireg, Morocco
This is a .95" long, specimen of a fairly rare Cyphaspis eximia from Zireg, Morocco. This purple coloration is unique to the location and due iron based minerals being present during the shell replacement. Cyphaspis eximia can be identified by the presence of four small spines on its glabella.
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.
