Hoekospis yahuari Trilobite Pair

This fascinating Hoekospis yahuari trilobite pair offers a glimpse into ancient marine life from approximately 470 million years ago. Dating to the Middle Ordovician Period, these fossils come from Coroico, Bolivia, a region known for its remarkable Ordovician trilobite specimens.

Hoekospis yahuari trilobites are characterized by their broad head shields, distinctly segmented bodies, and rounded tail sections. Like other trilobites, these ancient marine arthropods possessed hard exoskeletons that helped protect them as they inhabited prehistoric seas. Their beautifully preserved body structures provide a fascinating look at the diversity of life that existed long before dinosaurs appeared.

This unique specimen features two complementary halves of a split fossil nodule, each displaying a trilobite impression. The contrasting dark matrix and reddish-brown mineral coloration highlight the intricate segmentation and natural details of these ancient creatures, making this an interesting addition to any fossil collection or educational display.

The trilobites measure approximately 3 inches, with each half displayed on an approximately 4 x 3.5 inch matrix.

A Certificate of Authenticity from Tyrannostorus is included.
