Kymataspis areosa TrilobiteDescription: Possibly, this is the first identified specimen of this species from Morocco ever offered on a commercial paleo website. Only in the last few years have these middle Cambrian trilobites become available on the market. In my experiences with the Moroccan wholesale dealers who sell them, these trilobites are generally not identified. Luckily, one of my trilobite collector colleagues is an expert on identifications, and he nailed this one. It is the only one I have available for sale.

Quality trilobites from the Cambrian of Morocco are far less common than their Devonian counterparts. Only in the last few years have these trilobites become generally available. Ones of this quality preservation are quite uncommon. This one is 100% complete.
