1.9" Detailed Scotoharpes Trilobite - Boudib, Morocco

This is a nice, 1.9" long Scotoharpes from Boudib, 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 fantastic specimen has about 5% restoration, primarily on the right hand edge of the head shield.
