2.1" Gorgeous Scotoharpes Trilobite - Orange Headshield

Here is a beautiful example of the Harpetida trilobite Scotoharpes from Morocco. It has a very dramatic "head shield" which is often interpreted as a mechanism to help it stay on top of a soft ocean floor. This preglabellar ring (head shield) is covered in many sensory pits which may have held hairlike features when the trilobite was alive.

This specimen is beautiful with an orange head shield, nice preparation and only about 3% shell restoration.
