Crotalocephalina Trilobite With Spiny Leonaspis - Atchana, Morocco
This is a pair of Lower Devonian trilobites from the Lhandar Formation of Morocco. There is a 2" long (if outstretched) Crotalocephalina next to a 1.1" long, spiny Leonaspis. The limestone around these fossils has been nicely shaped so that they both display well whether on a flat surface or display stand.
Note: The grey patch in the middle of the rock is just a shadow.

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.
