Two "Flying" Paralejurus Trilobites - Foum Zguid, Morocco
This is a stunning, natural association of two Paralejurus trilobites collected near Foum Zguid, Morocco. The limestone has been painstakingly removed using air scribes and air abrasives leaving them "flying" on pedestals of rock. This style of preparation is very impressive but also very time consuming taking dozens of hours to prepare a piece like this.
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.
