This is a very ornate Lichid trilobite. It is an Acanthopyge (Lobopyge) Type 2 from Morocco. This trilobite has been prepared in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Walsenburg, Colorado, as are all of our Moroccan trilobites. This type has very pustulose ornamentation on the thick shell exoskeleton. This specimen showcases this feature beautifully. The trilobite is complete and extremely well articulated. Both free cheeks are tightly attached, and even the tiny stalked eyes are intact. The nicely outstretched bug is very 3-dimensional, and it is aesthetically centered on the uniquely sculpted limestone block. This is a very detailed trilobite with excellent features preserved.
