Cluster Of Three Anacheirurus (Lehua) Trilobites - Fezouata Formation
This is a cluster of three Anacheirurus trilobite from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. This is a fairly uncommon trilobite, so finding three together is quite unusual. The red coloration is due to the oxidization of iron pyrite that originally preserved the fossils. The trilobites average about 1 1/2" in length.
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.
