Gorgeous Pair Of Crotalocephalina Trilobites - Atchana, Morocco
I had this piece in my personal collection for the past few years.
It is a stunning pair of Crotalocephalina trilobites from the Lhandar Formation of Morocco. The multi-toned shell coloration on this is gorgous, and the preparation is fantastic. One specimen would be about 3.2" if outstretched and the other would be around 2.5". A really aesthetic display 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.
