Cluster Nine Smooth Shelled Gerastos Trilobites - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a very aesthetic cluster of nice Gerastos trilobites from Mrakib, Morocco. This species of gerastos is a smooth head as opposed to the much more commonly seen Gerastos granulosus whose head is covered in small bumps. I had this piece in my personal collection for a few years and just decided to part with it.
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.
