Description

Fossilized Agnostida Trilobites on a Shale matrix from Utah, USA. Theses are of the Peronopsis genus. You will recive the exact item as pictured.

Agnostid trilobites were tiny, blind arthropods that scuttled through ancient seas over 500 million years ago, mostly during the Cambrian and Ordovician periods. Unlike their more flamboyant trilobite cousins, Agnostids were minimalist, and almost symmetrical in design - typically only a few millimetres long, with just two or three body segments and no eyes at all.

Some genera, like Agnostus or Peronopsis, are thought to have been either deep-sea dwellers or planktonic drifters, still the subject of debate among paleontologists. Their compact, almost symmetrical form and mysterious lifestyle make them a bit of a trilobite enigma!

Reviews

“I’ve bought literally hundreds of crystals and mineral specimens from them over the past few years and they’ve always exceeded my expectations, with many a ‘oh wow!!!’ moment”

– Gemma Nelson

“The CC is always the first business I recommend to anyone who is interested in buying crystals, as I know they will never be disappointed by what they'll receive. The pictures on the website are always true to how they actually look, (no photo manipulation to make stones look bigger or more vibrant) and honestly look even more stunning once you see them in person.”

– Eva Nott

“Every stone or mineral I have ever bought here (of which there have been many!) has been of superb quality, packaged beautifully and dispatched quickly, and securely.”
