Four Large Pedinopariops Trilobites - Killer Piece!
This is a impressive, association of four large Pedinopariops (Hypsipariops) vagabundus trilobites from Mrakib, Morocco. They are all around 3" in length with excellent preservation including clear eye facets. The piece has been very well prepared, and displays very aesthetically.
The only restoration is a few touchups along the repaired cracks, less than 1% in total. A really killer 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.
