This is an excellent specimen of Hollardops (=Metacanthina) mesocristata from the Devonian of Morocco. This extremely 3-dimensional trilobite is quite prone with the long, wide genal spines easily seen. The superbly articulated bug exhibits great detail. The crescent-shaped compound eyes are well displayed. The trilobite has wonderful natural color and contrasts well with the light-colored matrix. The bug is beautifully centered on the block of sculpted limestone. This is a very distinct example of this ''classic'' trilobite from Morocco.
