Rare, 2.6" Psychopyge Termierorum Trilobite With Gerastos
This is a 2.6" long Psychopyge termierorum trilobite collected near Ofaten, Morocco. It is related to the more frequently seen Psychopyge elegans which comes from Issomour but has a much longer rostrum. It's a beautifully preserved example with top quality preparation. There is a small, gerastos trilobite naturally associated with it.
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.
