Three Ordovician Asaphellus Trilobites - Morocco
This is a really cool cluster of three Asaphellus trilobites from the Fezouata Shale in Morocco. They have a natural, reddish coloration due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. The largest of the three trilobites is just over an inch long and they are nicely centered on a 5.1x4.4" slab of shale. It comes with an acrylic display stand.
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.
