This is an unusual spiny trilobite. It is a Kolihapeltis rabatensis from Morocco. This trilobite is a type of Scutellid, but differs from most Scutellids by having vertical spines. This specimen has five spines, and they have all been prepared in a free-standing manner. There are two spines that emanate from the top of each eye - one long spine and one short one. There is also a long occipital spine growing out of the head. The three long spines flow beautifully over the body. The rest of the bug has good natural color and nice detail. The trilobite is nicely centered on the squared matrix block. This is a great example of this unusual spiny trilobite.
