Two 5"+ Asaphid Trilobites (One Dorsal, One Ventral) - Taouz, Morocco
This is a pair of large, Ordovician, Asaphid trilobites collected near Taouz, Morocco. They are both about 5.4" long and one is preserved dorsally, while one is preserved ventrally. The hypostome (mouth plate) can even be seen on the ventral specimen. Restoration is pretty minimal, the left eye on the dorsal specimen and a bit of restoration one a repaired crack.
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.
