Two Asaphid Trilobites (One Dorsal, One Ventral) - Taouz, Morocco
This is a pair of large, Ordovician, Asaphid trilobites collected near Taouz, Morocco. There is a nicely inflated, 4.9" long specimen naturally associated with a 3.7" long ventral specimen. The hypostome (mouth plate) has been exposed on the ventral example. Only a small amount of restoration on the genal spines on the dorsal 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.
