Tower Of Trilobites - Crotalocephalina & Two Reedops
This is a beautifully presented association of three trilobites quarried from Atchana, Morocco. There is a Crotalocephalina which would be over 3" long if outstretched and a pair of partially enrolled reedops. They are naturally associated and the limestone was been sculpted to create an aesthetic display that stands upright on a flat surface. No restoration on the piece.
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.
