Two Nice Paciphacops Trilobites (One Enrolled & One Prone)
This is a pair of naturally associated Paciphacops cambelli trilobites from the Haragan Formation in Oklahoma. One specimen is fully enrolled and other is mostly outstretched with just its tail tucked.. Both would be around 1" long if outstretched. They were nicely prepared using air abrasives under microscope and display well on the creme colored limestone.
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.
