2.5" Detailed Hollardops Trilobite - Ofaten, Morocco
This is a detailed, 2.5" long Hollardops trilobite fossil quarried near Ofaten, Morocco. Both of the genal spines have been prepared free-standing and it has good eye facet preservation in both eyes. There is some disarticulation in the back of the thorax and it has about 2-3% shell restoration.
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.
