Here is a very pretty trilobite. This is Scabriscutellum furciferum from the Devonian of Morocco. This type of trilobite has a rather small cephalon with short genal spines and protruding eyes. The pleurons extend into thin, pointed spines and the fan-shaped pygidium is huge! All of these features are well displayed on this specimen. This slightly contraflexed trilobite is wonderfully articulated and preserved in a 3-dimensional manner. Both free cheeks are present and tightly attached. The bug has great dark-brown coloration and displays beautifully on the oval plate of dense limestone. This is an attractive specimen of Scabriscutellum from the Devonian.
