Lonchodomas, Euloma & Asaphellus Trilobites - Fezouata Shale
This is a 8 x 4.2" section of shale containing three different species of trilobites from the Fezouata Shale of Morocco. There isa 2.4" long Lonchodomas, a 1.3" long Euloma and a .8" long Asaphellus. They have have a red coloration due to the oxidization of iron pyrite that originally preserved the fossils. There does appear to be some areas of restoration/color enhancement, particularly to the spines of the Lonchodomas.
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.
