This is a remarkably nice Harpes Trilobite from the Pragian age of Morocco. This specimen belongs to the Genus Lioharpes. The Trilobite shows a superb preservation and shows well on its nice block of limestone. This Trilobite shows a some affinity to the Czech Harpes species Lioharpes venulosus (Hawle & Corda 1847). The eyes are relative wide to the front, the shape and surface sculpture of the Cephalon very similar. The Glabella seems to be a little lees inflated and the rim furrow of the Glabella seems also less clearly developed. This specimen shows also a some similarity to Fritchaspis ruderalis Hawle & Corda, 1847. This Harpas was found in the Kohlihapeltis couche what is deeper Pagan age. | |||
