This is a very ornate Lichid trilobite. It is a very large Acanthopyge (Lobopyge) Type 1 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 nicely inflated and extremely well articulated - even the tiny stalked eyes are present. The genal spines and ALL of the teilspines have been prepared free-standing. The nicely outstretched bug is very 3-dimensional, and is aesthetically perched atop the sculpted limestone block. This is a very striking trilobite that display beautifully.
