Beautiful Acanthopyge with Pustulose Exoskeleton

Name: Acanthopyge sp.

Age:  Devonian

Formation:  AM Limestone

Location:  Morocco

Size: Trilobite is 3.55 inches long

Price: SOLD

Specimen SSOK2

This is a rare trilobite fossil. It is a beautiful Acanthopyge from Morocco. This type had to be composited from parts for years, because there had never been a complete specimen found. Over the last few years, though, a few complete ones have been unearthed, and this is one of them. This specimen was acquired from a MAJOR fossil collection. The quality of this trilobite is fabulous - the thick shell exoskeleton is beautifully preserved and exhibits amazing detail - the fine pustulation is even seen with the naked eye. The bug is fully complete - the head, body, and tail are all intact and well articulated. And the trilobite is very inflated and 3-dimensional, as can be seen in the photos. This is not only an excellent example of this rare Lichid trilobite, it is a wonderful display bug.
