This is an excellent Cambropallas telesto from the Cambrian of Morocco. This type of bug is one of the most faked trilobites from Morocco. Usually, one or both free cheeks of this type of trilobite are heavily reconstructed. However, there is no mistaking the authenticity of this specimen, as both part and counterpart are present, and the long, wide genal spines are beautifully displayed on both. This detailed trilobite is nicely inflated and wonderfully articulated - even the tiny pygidium is easily seen. The crescent-shaped eyes are clearly defined, and the small, distinct ridges on the middle lobe of the thorax are quite evident. The fossil has outstanding, natural color and contrast and is well presented on the plates of matrix. This is a great example of a ''real'' Cambropallas from Morocco.
