 Description:
Here is one of the more uncommon trilobites of Morocco: Asaphellus
zagoraensis of the Order Asaphida, Family Asaphidae. The Asaphidae
are not common representatives of the Moroccan Trilobita. This
one is exceptionally 3-D for an Ordovician trilobite, and would
make a good addition to a collection of the region’s trilobite
diversity. This one comes to you just as found in the field, having
been cracked open to reveal the trilobite entombed within. The
diggers term a specimen like this “trilobite in coffin”. |
