1.45" Kettneraspis Trilobite With Long Occipital Spine- Lghaft, Morocco

This is a spiny, 1.45" 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. It has 3-4% shell restoration on the top of its axis.
