3"+ XL Calymene (Colpocoryphe) Trilobite Fossils
These are real Calymene trilobite fossils from the Anti-Atlas Region of Morocco. These trilobites are preserved as internal molds within the sandstone formation and are fairly common making them a very inexpensive trilobite fossil for their size. These trilobites have often been referred to as Flexicalymene ouzregui but the genus/species names are been continuously in flux.
The trilobite fossils are 3-4" long with most being in the middle of that size range. They aren't perfect, some will have a missing cheek or a repaired crack but are in general pretty good quality. The photos provided are representative of these fossils, but are not of the exact specimens that you will receive. An ID card will be included for each specimen.

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.
