Two Coltraneia Trilobites With Hollardops - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a really sweet association of two, bug-eyed Coltraneia trilobites along with a Hollardops. It was quarries near Ofaten Mountain in Morocco. The larger, slightly curled Coltraneia 2" long and the smaller, prone one is 1.7" long. The piece is well prepared with less than 1% shell restoration in total.
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.
