This is an excellent spiny trilobite. It is a very large Cyphaspis from Morocco. This type has a huge, bulbous glabella, long genal spines, and a long axial spine. The axial spine has been wonderfully prepared in a free-standing position on this specimen. The bug also has nice stalked eyes. And there are bumps and pustules completely covering the exoskeleton, especially on the glabella and the genal spines. The black fossil contrasts beautifully with the light-colored matrix. It is well positioned on the rounded block of limestone. This is a great example of this spiny Moroccan trilobite.
