This is a very unusual trilobite multiple. It is a grouping of three Placoparia from Morocco. Occasionally, an example of this type is unearthed in Morocco, but a multiple plate like this is extremely uncommon. The trilobites are all complete and outstretched - this type is often found disarticulated. The bugs are well showcased and have great natural color and excellent detail. The three trilobites are aesthetically positioned and nicely centered on the squared matrix plate. This is easily one of the best examples of this strange trilobite that we have seen from Morocco.
