This is a fantastic Cambrian trilobite. It is a very fine Acadoparadoxides nobilis from the Cambrian of Morocco. This specimen was meticulously prepared under a microscope in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Colorado. This unusual species of trilobite is complete and wonderfully articulated. Both free cheeks and tiny tail are present, which is EXTREMELY unusual for this type of trilobite. The distinct trilobite exhibits wonderful detail - the long, sweeping genal spines are intact and beautifully displayed. The crescent-shaped eyes are easily seen, and even the hypostoma (mouthplate) is clearly defined (RARE!). And the counterpart is also included - WOW! This is one of the best examples of this classic Cambrian trilobite that we've seen.
