Lot: Misc Devonian Trilobites From Morocco - 6 Pieces
This is a lot of 6, authentic, Devonian trilobites from Morocco. They are real with either no or minimal restoration. The preparation work is a bit rough on several of them though or they have minor damage like missing eye stalks on some of Leonaspis. There are at least four species represented and they range from 1.1" to 3" in length.
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.
