Spiny Lichid (Acanthopyge) Trilobite - Excellent Preparation!
This is an incredible lichid trilobite prepared by one of the best trilobite preparitors in the world. It is a rare and stunning example of Acanthopyge from the Lhandar Formation of Morocco. This 1" long trilobite is arched and has been prepared using low pressure air abrasives under high magnification to expose it from its stony tomb.
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.
