Crotalocephalina & Reedops Trilobites - (Special Price)

This is a very aesthetic, natural association of two Crotalocephalina gibbus and a Reedops trilobite from Atchana, Morocco. The specimens has been painstakingly prepared to remove the surrounding limestone, leaving the trilobite fossils perched in an beuatiful display. All of the trilobites would be around 2 1/2" long, if they had been outstretched, but they are all curled over. Almost no restoration, just a few touchups 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.
