Description
Neltneria jacqueti- Trilobite (NELTNER & POCTEY, 1949)
Early Cambrian
Issafen, Morocco.
Beautiful 62mm trilobite on 205mm slab
is a rare and early Cambrian trilobite, known from some of the oldest fossil-rich rocks on Earth. It had a small, segmented body with a smooth head shield and spiny features, representing one of the earliest stages in trilobite evolution. Found in places like Morocco, Neltneria offers a glimpse into the origins of these iconic arthropods. Primitive yet bold, it’s a key player in the story of the Cambrian Explosion and the rise of complex life in Earth’s ancient oceans.
