1.35" Well Prepared, Kettneraspis Trilobite (Long Occipital Horn)
This is a beautiful, 1.35" long, Kettneraspis? prescheri trilobite from Morocco. It has a large, and very distinctive occipital spine. These trilobites have typically been labeled as Leonaspis but based on more recent papers it appears to be Kettneraspis? prescheri. The one is a particularly well prepared example.
