Here is a very pretty Cornuproetus cornutus from the Devonian of Morocco. This trilobite is 3-dimensionally preserved and wonderfully articulated. It is nicely outstretched and exhibits superb detail. Both free cheeks are present and tightly attached. The close-set eyes are easily seen and the long, sweeping genal spines are beautifully displayed. The genal spines extend way past the pygidium of the trilobite! Even the small granules on the glabella are quite evident. The almost-black trilobite contrasts with the light-colored matrix in exceptional fashion. It is well positioned on the rounded plate of limestone. This is a very aesthetic specimen of Cornuproetus with gorgeous genal spines.
