Large Enrolled Phacops Trilobite - Mrakib, Morocco

This is a gorgeously preserved, enrolled Phacopid trilobite from Mrakib, Morocco. The large phacopid trilobites from this location have outstanding preservation very reminiscent of the Eldredgeops from the Silica Shale in Ohio. They also get big, this one would be nearly 3 inches long if it was outstretched These phacopids from Mrakib are a relatively new find, and I haven't seen them offered by many other dealers.

The compound eyes in this specimen show amazing detail and all of the pustules on the head are well preserved. There are a few patches of shell restoration on the last few segments and one below the right eye.
