Here is a very cool trilobite. This is Scabriscutellum furciferum from the Devonian of Morocco. This type of trilobite has a rather small cephalon with protruding eyes. The pleurons extend into thin, pointed spines, and the fan-shaped pygidium is huge! All of these features are well displayed on this specimen. This beautiful trilobite is wonderfully articulated and preserved in a very 3-dimensional manner. Both free cheeks are present and tightly attached, and the TINY compound eye facets are even intact! The bug has character - it has great dark-brown coloration and displays wonderfully on the sculpted block of dense limestone. This is a very attractive display specimen of Scabriscutellum from North Africa.
