Bargain, 3.3" Hollardops With Comura Trilobite - Ofaten, Morocco

This is an association of a large, 3.3" long Hollardops trilobite along with a Comura trilobite. The preparation is unfortunately pretty rough on the Comura which was also likely exposed on the surface and is thus missing all of it's vertical spines. The Hollardops is very inflated, has good eye facet preservation, and while there are some scratches from preparation on the shell there is no 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.
