Zlichovaspis With Crotalocephalina - Beautiful Preparation
This is a beautiful association of a Zlichovaspis rugosa and Crotalocephalina gibbus from the quarries near Atchana, Morocco. The Zlichovaspis has a bit of disarticulation on the body but is 2.9" long and the Crotalocephalina is a little over 2". The shell quality and preparation on both specimens is excellent, and the limestone has been aesthetically sculpted to present both fossils in a wonderful display. Less than 1% shell 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.
