Proetid Moroccan TrilobiteDescription: This unusual trilobite comes from a new location known as Jorf in Morocco, close to the site from which the polished goniatite ammonites originate. The preservation of the exoskeleton is reminiscent of them in terms of texture, unlike many trilobites from Morocco. The first example I have seen was almost one year ago, and this is the first I have been able to secure. With a surge in interest in specimens from Jorf we can only hope to see even more unusual material coming to light.
