3.3" Insane Lichid (Acanthopyge) Trilobite - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a 3.3" long, Acanthopyge trilobite collected near Mrakib, Morocco. The preparation on this extremely rare, lichid trilobite from is just insane. Just check out all the tubercle detail of the shell. Most of the limestone has been removed from around the trilobite bringing it out in high relief against the surrounding rock. Unlike most of the Acanthopyge I've seen the cheeks are NOT composites or restored. Restoration is about 2% along a repaired crack through the tail.
It doesn't get much better than this.

About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
