Large African Trilobites - You would not want to squish one with your foot!

Trilobites were some of natures most successful creatures.  They survived for over 270 million years.  They took on many sizes and shapes.  This week we will give a look at many different types and adaptations.




Cambropallas Telesto trilobites are known to have inhabited the earth during the Cambrian Period 500 million years ago and were among some of the largest trilobites of that, or any time.  They are most commonly found in the Sahara Desert area of northern Africa.


These trilobites are most often found in Morocco, where they are also faked because of the ease to replicate them.  You must be cautious in purchasing them because there are so many fakes on the market.
