1.7" Prone Scotoharpes Trilobite - Boudib, Morocco
Here is an excellent example of the Harpetida trilobite Scotoharpes sp. 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.
This specimen is laid out perfectly prone, is 1.7" long and has only about 2% shell restoration long repaired cracks.
