Description: F-19 Fossil Trilobite Flexicalymene Morocco You are bidding on the above mentioned auction. This auction is for the above item.Trilobites were an incredibly diverse and successful group of bottom-dwelling marine arthropods that lived during the Paleozoic Era. They first appeared during the Cambrian Period and went extinct at the end of the Permian, roaming the oceans for 270 million years. (Arthropods are the phylum of animals with jointed legs, like insects, spider, and shrimp.) Trilobites are closely related to modern horseshoe crabs.Trilobite means "three lobes," referring to its longitudinal division into a center axial lobe with two pleural lobes on each side. Trilobite bodies, which were covered with calcareous exoskeletons, are also divided into the cephalon (head section), thorax (midsection), and the pygidium (tail section.) Trilobites had a pair of antennae extending from the cephalon, and many pairs of legs and gill branches. Although some Trilobites were blind, many had large, compound eyes with hundreds of individual lenses.Trilobites were highly diversified and occupied an amazing range of ecological niches. They were filter feeders, detritus eaters, scavengers, or predators, and ranged from less than a tenth of an inch to more than 2 feet in length. So far, over 20,000 species of Trilobites have been identified. Trilobites play a valuable role helping geologists date the age of the rock in which their fossils are found.The pics will speak for themselves. No restoration. Sold as is. I combine shipping.
