Unusual Morocconites malladoides Moroccan Trilobite

Description: Elegant example of a member of the Order Phacopida, Family Phacopidae with many fine details present. The most diagnostic feature of this taxon is the “Pinocchio” upturned rostrum (here 15 mm long). Notice the fine eye facets present on this specimen. The rich dark exoskeleton is well-contrasted to the light-colored matrix block. This one has been prepared in the “flying” pose for a dramatic display.
