Leonaspis Moroccan TrilobiteDescription: Elegant example of an unusual trilobite which has recently become available, I have termed a “stovepipe” due to the dramatic occipital spine only found in this species. It is a new species named in 2006, one that has curried great favor among the collectors of the world over the past few years. This large example has been prepared with the occipital spine supported by matrix, showing its trademark feature to greatest advantage with highest degree of safety.
