Excellent Hollardops & Cornuproetus Trilobite Association
This is a nice, natural association of a Hollardops mesocristata and Cornuproetus cornutus trilobite quarried near Ofaten, Morocco . Both of them are nicely prepared with excellent shell detail including eye facets. The Hollardops is 2.15" long and the Cornuproetus is 1.3" long.
The only shell restoration is a touchup along the repaired crack on the head of the Cornuproetus, less than 1% in total.

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.
