This is a very unusual little trilobite. It is an Acanthopyge (Lobopyge) Type 2 from Morocco. This trilobite has been prepared in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in 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 bulbous stalked eyes are intact. The outstretched bug is very 3-dimensional and is aesthetically centered on the uniquely sculpted limestone block. This is a very detailed example of an ornate type of trilobite.
