.75" Unidentified Proetid Trilobite - Jorf, Morocco
The is a very inflated, .75" proetid trilobite from Jorf Morocco. The preparation is very nice and the genal spines have been prepared free of the rock. There is a second, partial trilobite of the same species near the edge of the rock.
There are probably dozens of very similar looking proetid trilobites from this area of Morocco. I keep going back and forth on what genus I think this might be, and would probably take an expert on Proetid trilobites to say for sure.

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.
