FOSSIL ULTRA RARE COMURA TRILOBITE WITH FREE SPINES a.imagelink {color:#ffffff;} a:hover.imagelink {color:#ffffff;} a:visited.imagelink {color:#5a5a59;} a.imagelink img.auctionimage { border: 2px solid #ffffff; } a:visited.imagelink img.auctionimage { border: 2px solid #5a5a59; } Fossil - Ultra Rare Comura Trilobite With Free Spines Age: Devonian Period, 395 – 345 million years ago Location: Atlas Mountains, South Morocco Matrix size: approx 2.5"x2.2" This is a fantastic genuine specimen. In today's market, it is getting nearly impossible to locate fine grade authentic trilobites such as these in the torrent of fakes that around. This stunning Comura trilobite makes for a fantastic display in its partially enrolled position, appearing as if it is still alive creeping over ancient sea bed. The Comura trilobites are some of the most stunning types of trilobites to have ever inhabited the prehistoric seas. They are wondrous creatures with complex displays of spines and bizarre symmetry. It must have been an amazing site to witness such marvels of creation slowly crawling across the ocean floor. It is no wonder that trilobites have been labeled "butterflies of the ancient seas". The word trilobite comes from the Greek word treislobos, meaning three lobed one. The three lobes run parallel to the axis of the trilobite, or length of the body. Some trilobites were burrowing trilobites, while others could swim and crawl. All are considered scavengers who ate mud, seaweed, and algae for food. All trilobites molted or shed their shells as they grew. There were thousands of different species and these animals were the first ones on Earth to have highly developed vision, as evident from the compound eyes that are amazingly preserved in some of the species.
