    This is a very distinct Lichid trilobite. It is a very fine Acanthopyge (Lobopyge) bassei from Morocco. This trilobite has been prepared in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in the USA. This type has very pustulose ornamentation on the thick shell exoskeleton - this specimen showcases this feature very well. The trilobite is complete and extremely well articulated. Both free cheeks are tightly attached, and even the tiny stalked eyes are intact. Also,
    the large hypostoma (mouthplate) has been exposed in preparation!
    The unusually prone bug is very 3-dimensional and is aesthetically perched atop the sculpted limestone block. This is a very detailed example of this uncommon Lichid trilobite that has been professionally prepared. (The bug is much better than the photos show.)
    A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS.com is included with this specimen. FREE SHIPPING in the USA!
