This is a very cool Cambrian trilobite. It is an unidentified Hamatolenus from the Cambrian of Morocco. This is a very rare type and may not even be a true Hamatolenus! This trilobite exhibits very fine detail - the furrowed glabella is easily seen, and the individual thoracic segments are clearly defined. But the real eye-catching feature of this bug is its long spines - they extend twice the length of the trilobite! And if that's not enough, this is a split pair - the counterpart is also present and included for free. This is a very distinct example of this extremely unusual Cambrian trilobite.
