Here is a rare complete specimen of a Eodiscus of the species Cephalopyge notabilis from Morocco. This trilobite offers a nice and very inflated preservation, the three typical thorax segments of the suborder Eodiscina are well visible. Although Cephalopyge notabilis is a index fossil in the middle cambrian strata of Morocco are articulated specimens are very rare. | |||
