Large, 3.1" Morocops Trilobite - Nice Eye Facets
This is a detailed, 3.1" Morocops (Barrandeops) trilobite from the Devonian of Morocco. It has nice shell detail including eye facets and has been prepared with air scribes and air abrasives so that it looks like it is ready to crawl off the rock. There is some restoration on two pleural tips on the right hand side, but otherwise the preservation and preparation is quite nice.
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.
