Lot: Bargain Kainops Oklahoma Trilobites - Pieces #83401

This is a wholesale lot of six, bargain, Kainops and Paciphacops trilobites quarried in Clarita, Oklahoma. These are bargain specimens because they all had shell damage from weathering and this damaged shell was restored. They still have a lot of detail including visible eye facets. The largest one which is perfectly prone is 1.2" long and the smallest would be about 3/4" if outstretched.

At the wholesale price, each trilobite is only $16.66

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.
