Pair Of Nice Reedops Trilobite - Atchana, Morocco
This is a pair of beautiful Reedops trilobites collected near Atchana, Morocco. They have a lot of surface detail including, visible, preserved eye facets in it's eyes. They have been prepared to remove the surrounding limestone so that it looks like they're ready to crawl off the rock.
About Trilobites
Trilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet: over 25,000 species have been described, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to their hard exoskeletons (shells), they left an excellent fossil record.
