Here is a very fine example of Scabriscutellum furciferum from the Devonian of Morocco. This unusual-shaped trilobite is not common and it is very rare to get one this well preserved. This 3-dimensional trilobite is extremely well articulated - much better than most specimens of this trilobite. This almost prone trilobite exhibits great detail. The short, pointed genal spines are easily seen and the holochroal compound eyes display the tiny facets in fine fashion. The pleuron tips are all intact and the large, broad pygidium is beautifully displayed. The natural, dark coloration of the bug contrasts nicely with the lighter-colored matrix. The trilobite is well presented on the rounded plate of limestone. This is a very "clean" and well prepared specimen of Scabriscutellum.
