Pair of Pedinopariops Trilobites - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a beautifully presented pair of Pedinopariops vagabundus trilobites quarried near Mrakib, Morocco. There are two of these large phacopids in natural association. One is outstretched with it's head tucked and would be about 2.8" long if outstretched. The second is enrolled and would be close to 3.5" if outstretched. They are nicely prepared and both have good eye facets.
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.
