Excellent Scabriscutellum & Hollardops Trilobite Association

This is an excellent, natural association of two different types of trilobites from Ofaten, Morocco. There is a nice Hollardops closely association with a Scabriscutellum. Both trilobites are around 2" long and the Hollardops has orange eye preservation which sometimes occurs in trilobites from this location. Excellent preparation with only about 2% shell restoration on the tail of the Scabriscutellum.

A really cool piece.

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.
