Here is a nice piece a Eodiscid trilobites of the species Morocconus notabilis from the middle Cambrian of Morocco. This species was initially described as Cephalopyge notabilis. But the genus name Cephalopyge was allready in use for a group of a pelagic species of nudibranch. (Cephalopyge sensu Hanel, 1905) The trilobite itself is about 10 mm in long. | |||
