Here is a stunning specimen of Morocconites malladoides from the Devonian of Morocco. This sleek trilobite has an extremely long spine extending off the front of the cephalon. This bug is extremely 3-dimensional and well preserved in an outstretched position. The wonderfully articulated trilobite is quite large for the type and exhibits great detail. The black color of the fossil contrasts strikingly with the light-colored matrix. The trilobite is beautifully showcased on the sculpted plate of dense limestone. This is a very displayable example of Morocconites - the unicorn of trilobites.
