This is a very distinct Ordovician trilobite. It is a large Asaphellus stubbsi from Morocco. This specimen was recently acquired from the Richard Busch Collection. Busch was the Preparator/Asst. Curator at the North Museum in Lancaster, PA from 1965-1992. This trilobite was nicknamed the "moustache bug" because the genal spines on the sides look like a handlebar moustache. The trilobite is very inflated and 3-D and has nice, dark brown shell (skin) preserved. The trilobite contrasts well with the lighter-colored limestone block. And at almost 10 inches across, it is a very large trilobite. This is nice example of one of the more distinct trilobites from Morocco.
