Beautiful, 1.45" Fossil Trilobite (Paciphacops) - Black Cat Mountain
This is a trilobite of the genus Paciphacops that was collected from the Haragan Formation of Oklahoma. It has amazing surface detail including the many eye facets preserved in each eye. It was prepared under microscope using air abrasives.
This species is very similar to the more common Kainops found at the same site but has only 3 or 4 rows of eye facets.

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.
