Large, 1.2" Basseiarges Trilobite - Jorf, Morocco
This is a top-quality 1.2" specimen of Basseiarges from Jorf, Morocco. The rock from this locality is extremely hard with an almost glass-like texture making it difficult to prepare. This results in many specimens being "burnt" during preparation and losing a lot of shell detail. Not this little beauty. At 1.2" long it's quite large for the species.
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.
