2" Thysanopeltis Trilobite - Boudib, Morocco
This is an excellent, 2" long Thysanopeltis trilobite from the El Otfal Formation of Morocco. This species has a distinctive fringe of pygidial (tail) spines. it has two small spots of restoration on the top of it's axis, about 1-2% in total.
Trilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet: over 25,000 species have been described, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to their hard exoskeletons (shells), they left an excellent fossil record.
