Trilobite Fossil, Cryphina sp (Pseudocryphaeus), from Morocco #2

Description

Cryphina sp
, also known as
Pseudocryphaeus
, is a Lower Devonian trilobite from Morocco. It is one of the Phacopida. The trilobite is inherently small, with a pronounced snout and schizochroal eye lenses.
The trilobite is 1.2 inches long and 0.65 inches wide. Trilobite and matrix is 2.44 by 2.1 by 1.2 inches. Well-preserved schizochroal lenses are present in both eyes.
There is a repair running through the right genal spine and down the right side of the thorax. In the trilobite -collecting world this is not a detriment. Trilobites are found by smashing open rocks- and the specimens often get broken as a result. It is rare to find an entire, unbroken trilobite. And if one is found, they usually are sold for a premium amount. Many sellers do not disclose that their fossils have been repaired as the repair is often very well done, and virtually undetectable. I believe in full disclosure.
All of my fossils are guaranteed authentic and have been legally obtained.
