This is one of the most distinct trilobites in the world. It is an excellent Actinopeltis sp. from the Ordovician of Morocco. This amazing specimen is from the Diacalymene concretion layers, not the more common Ktaoua Sandstone Formation. The trilobite is complete and well preserved. The bug displays excellent detail - the HUGE bulbous glabella is NATURAL and very easily seen. The natural dark brown trilobite contrasts wonderfully with the lighter-colored concretionary matrix. And this is a split pair - the part and counterpart are both included here together (not pictured). This is one of the most sought-after trilobites found in Morocco.
