Here is a very aesthetic spiny trilobite. This is a Ceratarges sp. (Type A) from Morocco. This trilobite was prefessionally prepared in the EXTINCTIONS prep lab in Walsenburg, Colorado. This 3-dimensionally preserved trilobite has many beautiful spines. The bug has two long, curving ''horns'', which have been prepared in a free-standing manner. It also has two long, sweeping genal spines and two pair of broad spines emanating from the pygidium. A pair of occipital spines and a vertical tailspine (all of which have all been prepared free-standing) are also present. In addition to these large spines, each pleuron tip extends into a spine. There are also a few short spines between the larger spines on the pygidium. The eyes are borne on stalks which have also been prepared totally free of matrix. The bug has thick, dark brownish-black exoskeleton that contrasts extremely well with the sculpted matrix block. This is a breathtaking example of a spiny Ceratarges from Morocco.
