Two Detailed Austerops Trilobite - Excellent Eyes
This is a naturally associated pair of two, beautiful Austerops trilobites from Morocco. They both look like they are ready to crawl off the rock, have excellent preparation and eye facet preservation. Their tails are tucked but the larger one would be about 1.5" long if outstretched.
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.
