This is a richly populated trilobite piece featuring three different species from the Pragian of the Mardor el Kebrir site. At the top sits a Paralejurus elayounensis, below it a Reedops cephalotes hamlagdadianus, and additionally a rolled specimen of the species Reedops intermedius chlupaci. The Paralejurus measures approximately 69 mm in length. The large Reedops is 56 mm long and would reach about 69 mm if fully outstretched. The rolled Reedops intermedius chlupaci has a width of roughly 14 mm. The associated fauna is particularly noteworthy: The matrix contains numerous small and microfossils, including a striking number of juvenile marine gastropods. These resemble early developmental stages of genera such as Platyceras, Trochonema, or similar taxa. The Preservation and preparation is very good. Even under UV are no glue lines visibile. The Piece comes with no restorations. Overall, this is an interesting and exceptionally rich trilobite piece from Morocco.
