.8" Gerastos Trilobite Fossil - Foum Zguid
This is a nicely detailed specimen on the trilobite Gerastos tuberculatus from Foum Zguid, Morocco near the Algerian border. It's very 3D and well prepared. There is no restoration on the specimen.
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.
