1.7" Enrolled Scotoharpes Trilobite - Boudib, Morocco

Here is a gorgeous, 1.7" long, enrolled Harpetid (Scotoharpes) trilobite from Morocco. It has a very dramatic "head shield" which is often interpreted as a mechanism to help it stay on top of a soft ocean floor. This preglabellar ring (head shield) is covered in many sensory pits which may have held hairlike features when the trilobite was alive.

The trilobite is enrolled and well prepared with only 1-2% restoration along repaired cracks.
