Large, 2" Spiny Koneprusia Trilobite - (Special Price)

This is a large, 2" Koneprusia trilobite from Morocco. The spines are all real and have been prepared out free of the hard limestone using air scribes and air abrasives, a very time consuming task. Restoration is minimal, just some touchups along repaired cracks.

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.
