This is an unusual trilobite. It is an Actinopeltis from Morocco. This type is unusual because it has four pairs of pointed tailspines. This type is said to be a "true" Actinopeltis - the ones with the rounded tailspines are not. This specimen is beautifully outstretched. The large, bulbous nose displays prominently. The genal spines and all the pointed pleural spines are also intact. The trilobite is nicely positioned in the natural matrix plate. And the black skin color contrasts well with the grey matrix. This is a nice, complete example of a "true" Actinopeltis.
