Description

Name:   Acanthopyge (Lobopyge) sp.
Age:  Devonian
Formation:  AM Limestone
Location:  Morocco
Size:  Trilobite is about 1 inch long if prone
This is a very ornate Lichid trilobite. It is a beautiful Acanthopyge (Lobopyge) sp. (Type B) from Morocco. This ornate trilobite has been painstakingly prepared under a microscope in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab. This unusual type has very pustulose ornamentation on the thick shelled exoskeleton - this fine specimen showcases this feature beautifully. The distinct trilobite is complete and extremely well articulated. Both free cheeks are tightly attached, and even the tiny stalked eyes are well-displayed. The slightly contraflexed bug has been meticulously prepared so that the tailspines are free-standing, and the hypostoma (mouthplate) is exposed - what a prep job! The detailed trilobite is very 3-dimensionally preserved and aesthetically showcased on the sculpted limestone block. This is a beautiful display Acanthopyge trilobite with both head and tail prepared free-standing.
