Two Morocconites + Gerastos Trilobite Association
This is a cool association from Ofaten, Morocco with a pair of 2 1/2" long Morocconites malladoides trilobites, along with a nice, prone Gerastos. Preparation is very nice and the piece displays very aesthetically. One Moroccanites has a bit of restoration along the axis but the other two trilobites have no restoration.
Be sure to check out the video.

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.
