Lot: Gerastos Trilobite Fossils - 30 Pieces
This is a wholesale flat of 30 Gerastos trilobites. These trilobites are Devonian in age and were collected in Morocco. Most are laying prone while others are enrolled. You will receive the exact flat of material pictured. The preparation is a bit rough, hence the bargain price on these. Some have areas of shell restoration, but the majority are free of 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.
