1.25" Leonaspis Trilobite - Beautiful Prep

This is a nicely prepared 1.25" long Leonaspis from the Lhandar Formation of Morocco. It is laid out nice and prone. No restoration on this fine 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.
