Super Rare, .85" Radiaspis Trilobite - Issoumour, Morocco
This is one of the rarest, Devonian trilobites from Morocco, and I've only ever seen a few complete examples. It is a spiny Radiaspis from the El Otfal Formation near Issoumour, Morocco. They are small trilobites, this one being just under an inch in length. The back of the trilobite is disarticulated with the tail slightly pushed underneath which is the reason for a relatively low price on this specimen.
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.
