Here is a decorative and detailed Morocco trilobite of the classic species Metacanthina issoumourensis. The glue bonds of the find cracks can be nicely seen on the UV images. It is clear that the finder was quite pleased what he discovered in the cross section. As alsi the final result is convincing. A small restoration can be seen on the left eyelid. If fully stretched, this trilobite would be about 58 mm long. | |||
