Two Symphysurus Trilobites - One Antenna Present
This is a pair of 1.8" long Symphysurus trilobites from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. They have a natural purple coloration caused by the oxidization of iron pyrite which originally preserved the fossil. One trilobite has a single antenna preserved, a rare example of soft-bodied preservation of trilobite appendages.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

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.
