1.65" Bondonella Sdzuyi Trilobite - Issafen, Morocco

Bondonella Sdzuyi Trilobite - Issafen, Morocco #283752

This is a fairly rare, 1.65" long Fallotaspidoid trilobite (Bondonella sdzuyi) from the Issafen Formation of Morocco. It has been well prepared to bring it out in high relief against the surrounding shale.

In the past few years, deposits near Issafen, Morocco have begun yielding a new assemblage of Early Cambrian trilobites. This fauna is very diverse and consists mainly of ellipsocephalids, chengkouiids, gigantopygids, holmiids, neltneriids, saukiandids, and the latest fallotaspids. The shale is a greenish to slightly yellow color when freshly split, but weathers to a light grey.
