Morocco Trilobite species

Recommended Posts

Hello all, got this really interesting trilobite in from one of my sources that was unattributed. Any ideas? Also, is there a good source of information on how to attribute Moroccan trilobites? 

 

Thank you!

The trilobite is Harpes perradiatus.  LINK  Unfortunately, this specimen is heavily reconstructed.

Thank you! I figured it was reconstructed a bit too, and poorly prepped. But a bit more unusual than a Phacops or something.

For the price it's a interesting piece to hold on to; the seller you purchased it from is liquidating a large collection, but they're primarily an antiques dealer. If you're interested in more Moroccan trilobites I am happy to PM you information on finding authentic ones :) .

I had guessed so. I have bought a number of his fossils, lots of nice stuff. Any information would be great!
