Lot: 1.5 to 4" Ordovician/Cambrian Trilobites - 8 Pieces
This is a wholesale lot of eight, assorted trilobite fossils including one that is a positive/negative pair.
Four of these are Middle Cambrian aged Hamatolenus trilobites from Jbel Wawrmast Formation near Tinjdad, Morocco. These range from about 2.3 to 3.3" long. One is a positive/negative split, one is a molt. There is some restoration on the cheek of the positive/negative split but the others don't appear to be restored.
Four of the trilobites are Ordovician age, probably from the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. Three are an unidentified dalmanitid, and one looks like it is probably Placoparia. Only one appears to have any significant restoration.

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.
