Two Large Pedinopariops Trilobites - Very Nice Specimen
This is a really nice, double Pedinopariops vagabundus trilobite plate. Both specimens are very inflated and would be over 3" long if outstretched. Nice preparation and great eye facet detail. This piece had been in my personal collection for the last few years, but I decided to part ways with it.
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.
