5" Parahomalonotus calvus Trilobite - Foum Zguid, Morocco

This is a species not normally seen from the Timrhanrhart Formation, Parahomalonotus calvus. It's 5" long, and would have been significantly longer, but it's been heavily compressed lengthwise. Nearly all of the specimens from this layer show heavy compression or distortion based on their orientation.

Please Note: I believe the front half and back half of this trilobite maybe a composite of two partial specimens. There is a suspicious crack around the forth segment, and the segment count appears to be 12 not 13, but it also looks like there might be a segment pushed under the head. Otherwise there is only some minimal shell restoration on the left hand side. Due to the possible composited nature of this trilobite, the price is significantly discount.
