RARE Conocoryphe heberti Trilobite Fossil (Partial)

Middle Cambrian – Murero Formation – Rambla de Valdemiedes, Mureri, Zaragoza Province, Spain

This is a genuine partial trilobite fossil of Conocoryphe heberti, from the world-renowned Murero Formation in Rambla de Valdemiedes, near Mureri in northeastern Spain. A significant site in European palaeontology, the Murero region is famed for producing some of the most scientifically studied Cambrian trilobites

  • All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens
  • Includes a Certificate of Authenticity
  • Photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive
  • Scale Rule Squares / Cube = 1cm – see photo for full sizing

Geological & Stratigraphic Details

  • Locality: Rambla de Valdemiedes, near Murero, Zaragoza Province, Spain
  • Formation: Murero Formation
  • Geological Period: Middle Cambrian (~510–500 million years ago)
  • Stage: Wuliuan Stage (formerly Languedocian)
  • Biozone: Typically found in the Eccaparadoxides Zone
  • Depositional Environment:
  • Shallow to moderately deep marine setting
  • Fine siliciclastic deposits—shales, siltstones, and mudstones
  • Deposited under low-energy, oxygen-poor conditions

Fossil Type & Morphology

  • Type: Trilobite (partial – often cranidium or thoracic fragments)
  • Species: Conocoryphe heberti
  • Order: Ptychopariida
  • Superfamily: Conocoryphoidea

Scientific & Historical Importance

  • Conocoryphe heberti is one of the most classic and widely cited eyeless trilobites of the Middle Cambrian
  • Often used in biostratigraphic zonation across the European Cambrian system
  • Valued for its palaeoecological significance, being part of the soft-bottom marine community
  • Frequently found alongside paradoxidid trilobites in the Murero Lagerstätte

Cambrian Information

The Cambrian Period (541–485 million years ago) was the first period of the Paleozoic Era, marking a dramatic explosion of life known as the Cambrian Explosion. During this time, complex multicellular organisms rapidly diversified, giving rise to the first arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms, and chordates—early ancestors of vertebrates. The climate was generally warm, with high sea levels covering much of the continents, creating vast shallow seas where life thrived. Iconic creatures such as Trilobites, Anomalocaris, and Opabinia dominated the oceans, while the first primitive reefs formed. The Cambrian set the stage for the evolution of modern animal groups and the complexity of marine ecosystems.
