Ordovician Trilobite Association (Asaphellus, Lonchodomas & Euloma)

This is a really cool association of three different types of Lower Ordovician trilobites from the Fezouata Shale in Morocco . They all have a natural, bright orange coloration due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. There is a 1.4" Asaphellus, a 1.2" long Euloma and a 2" long Lonchodomas all on the same piece of shale.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.

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.
