Line Of Three Foulonia Trilobites With Asaphid - Migratory Behavior?
This is a really cool specimen featuring three Foulonia trilobites lined up in a perfect line. These lines of trilobites are frequently seen in certain layers of the Fezouata Formation. There is been a lot of speculation based on material from this site, that this represents preserved trilobite migratory behavior (paper linked below).
In addition to the three Foulonia there is also an unidentified Asaphid facing the other direction. Nice preparation work on this piece with just some minimal restoration along a repaired crack.
480-million-year-old trilobite ‘traffic jams' may reveal ancient migratory behavior

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.
