Stunning Crotalocephalina & Reedops Trilobite Association
This is a stunningly prepared, natural association of three trilobites collected from the Lhandar Formation near Atchana, Morocco. There is a large Crotalocephalina which would be about 3 1/2" if outstretched along with two enrolled reedops. Beautiful shell preservation on all of the trilobites. The surrounding limestone has been sculpted to create an aesthetic, free-standing preservation for the trilobites.
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.
