Trilobite ID help please

[FB003]

Hi all!

 

Have a trilobite here that was a gift.  Exact origin unknown but was told it was Moroccan.  Everything I look at points towards this being a reedops but I figured since the community is here let's double check and see if I did it correctly as there appear to be a few similar looking species.

Would need clearer pictures of the eye facets to do a count.

@Fossildude19 Thanks for taking a look.  Seems like its not transferring well to the computer from the phone so I tried my camera and this seems to be the best one I can get without tracking down my macro lens which has been MIA since California a couple years ago.

Austerops does appear to have many of the matching key features elaborated upon in McKellar & Chatterton as suggested by Tim in the first reply.
