Double, Short Snout Psychopyge Trilobite - Issoumour, Morocco
This is an really nice, natural, double Psychopyge trilobite specimen from the Tazoulait Formation of Morocco. This is the short-snout variety of Psychopyge, which is similar to Psychopyge elegans but has a shorter rostrum. Both speicmens are well prepared will all natural spines. There is a little bit of weathering on the thorax of the smaller specimen, but no restoration.
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.
