Crotalocephalina & Reedops Trilobite Association - Atchana
This is a natural association of a Crotalocephalina gibbus and a Reedops from Atchana, Morocco. The specimens has been painstakingly prepared to remove the surrounding limestone, leaving the trilobite fossils perched in an aesthetic display. The Crotalocephalina would be about 2.6" long if it was outstretched and the Reedops around 1.5". Less than 1% shell restoration along the repaired cracks.
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.
