About the Item

Kolihapeltis chlupaci hollardi is a rare, spiny trilobite fossil, a member of the Order Corynexochida and Family Scutellidae, found in the Lhandar Formation near Atchana, Morocco, during the Lower Devonian (Pragian Stage). Trilobites, an early arthropod relative of spiders, horseshoe crabs, and scorpions, preserved in this level of detail only occurred as a result of very sudden underwater landslides called turbidite sequences, which ravaged the early earth when the continents were still very much on the move. The contorted body positions of the trilobites demonstrate a final fight against being buried alive.
