Two Nice Leonaspis Trilobites - Foum Zguid, Morocco
Here is a two naturally associated and nicely prepared, spiny Leonaspis trilobites from Foum Zguid, Morocco. The dramatic spines are well preserved, you can see the small stalk eyes poking up above it's head. The shell is in much better shape and more detailed than most specimens from Morocco, thanks to good preparation.
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.
