Pair of Spiny Comura Trilobites - Top Quality Preparation
This is a pair of impeccably prepared Comura trilobites quarried near Oufaten, Morocco. It was prepared by one of the best preparators in the world and the shell quality and detail is second to none. The two specimens are both about 2" in length, and naturally associated right next to each other. The rock has been worked so that it displays very aesthetically without visible tool marks. A true collector piece.
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.
