Here is a Metacanthina barrandei from the Devonian of Morocco. The bug is complete and well articulated. The long, broad genal spines are easily seen, and some of the individual lenses of the compound eyes are quite evident. The individual thoracic segments are clearly defined, and the pygidial lappets are intact. The black trilobite contrasts nicely with the gray matrix. It is wonderfully centered on the block of dense limestone. This is a very affordable specimen of Metacanthina barrandei from Morocco.
