This is a very nice specimen of an unusual trilobite. It is a large Calymenella sp. from Morocco. The trilobite is over five inches in length, and it is very well centered in a large, oval concretion. The bug is extremely 3-dimensional and almost perfectly prone. Most of the dark brown shell exoskeleton (skin) is still preserved. The free cheeks of the trilobite are present - this is very unusual. The extremely small eyes of the trilobite are easily seen. One of the defining features of this trilobite, the long, pointed snout, is complete and nicely exhibited. This is a very displayable example of this strange Ordovician trilobite.
