 Description:
While Morocco is most famous for its Devonian trilobites, its history
extends back to near the beginning of trilobite evolution with
examples such as this one, a member of the Order Ptychopariida
called Kingaspidoides. The positive side will ship in a plastic
container to protect the prominent occipital spine from damage.
A rarely offered species, this one was identified for me by the
premier West Coast collector of Moroccan trilobites, and would
make an excellent addition to any collection of trilobites from
the region. It is the first I have been able to offer. |
