Here is a gorgeous trilobite. This is a top quality specimen of Metacanthina barrandei from the Devonian of Morocco. This inflated specimen is almost perfectly prone with the long, wide genal spines projecting downward at a jaunty angle. The superbly articulated bug exhibits excellent detail. The crescent-shaped compound eyes are just wonderful - the individual lenses are orangish in color and beautifully displayed. The black trilobite contrasts extremely well with the light-colored matrix. It is almost perfectly centered on the oval plate of limestone. This is an outstanding example of this "classic" trilobite from Morocco.
