Huge, 11.8" Inflated Megistaspis Trilobite - Fezouata Formation
This is a huge, 11.8" long Megistaspis (Ekeraspis) hammondi from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. What makes this specimen unusual is that it is nicely inflated and has good shell preservation. It also has pretty minimal restoration compared to most large trilobites. Part of the tail spine is restored and there are a few small patches of restoration on the head. Probably about 4% in total.
Comes with a display stand.

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.
