This is a good specimen of a Morocco trilobite of the species Hollardops mesocristata. The UV photos show the find situation nicely. When the limestone was split, only the head shield in the transverse fracture was actually recognizable. If fully prone, this trilobite would be about 71 mm long. | |||
