This is an excellent Moroccan trilobite. It is a huge Metacanthina (=Asteropyge) issoumourensis from the Devonian of Morocco. This beautiful specimen is extremely large for this type and very 3-dimensional. The trilobite exhibits very fine detail - the compound eye facets are excellent, and the occipital spine was prepared free-standing. The trilobite has beautiful, natural brown/green coloration. The bug is strikingly showcased on a large block of sculpted limestone. This is a wonderful display specimen of Metacanthina issoumourensis from Morocco - one of the biggest and best we've ever prepared.
