Crotalocephalina, Reedops & Leonaspis Trilobites - Atchana, Morocco
This is an excellent, natural association of three different species of trilobites quarried near Atchana, Morocco. There is a Crotalocephalina gibbus that would be about 2.6" long if outstretched, a Reedops which is missing it's tail, and a Leonaspis that has been prepared with many of its spines free-standing. Really nice preparation work on this piece and it displays very aesthetically.
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.
