Killer, Double Arctinurus Trilobite Plate - New York
This is a natural double Arctinurus specimen from the famous Caleb Quarry near Middleport, New York. Very few multiples of this rare, Silurian lichid trilobite have been found over the years. Both specimens on this plate of over 5" long which is quite large for the species. There is minimal restoration, mostly on the pleural spines of the specimens.
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.
