Two Rare Apatokephalus Trilobites With Asaphellus - Fezouata Formation
This is a fantastic multiple plate with a pair of rare Apatokephalus trilobites associated with a pair of Asaphellus. These trilobites are from the the Fezouata Formation in the Zagora Area of Morocco. Apatokephalus is a remopleurid trilobite that has a long spine coming off the axial ring on one of its last segments.
An acrylic and metal display stand will accompany your purchase. There is some restoration to the dorsal spines of the underlying Apatokephalus trilobite.

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.
