This is a huge example of a classic Cambrian trilobite. It is a very large Acadoparadoxides briareus from the Cambrian of Morocco. This type is one of the most faked or reconstructed trilobites from Morocco - this one, however, is guaranteed to be authentic. This unusual species of trilobite is complete and wonderfully articulated. Both free cheeks are present, which is EXTREMELY unusual for this trilobite. The inflated trilobite exhibits wonderful detail - the long, sweeping genal spines are intact and beautifully displayed. The crescent-shaped eyes are easily seen, and the pleural spines and tail are clearly defined. The trilobite has striking natural color and is well showcased on the somewhat oval plate of matrix. And, yes, it is over ten inches long! This is a large, genuine example of this oft-faked Moroccan trilobite.
