Here is a nice and quite large "Morocco Trilobite" of the genus Zlichovaspis. The trilobite shows nicely on a beautiful matrix and offers a interesting posing. Regarding the pygidium and a carapace texture is this trilobite most likely to be compared with the species Zlichovaspis rugosa (Hawle & Corda, 1847). The genus Spinodontochile is seen today as a synonym of Zlichovaspis. | |||
