Asaphellus sp.

These are each 10' long. Today, crustaceans in arctic waters demonstrate giantism. Trilobites followed this, as Morocco was in Antarctic waters in the early Ordovician, the age of this specimen.

@Roxiee, they are fascinating creatures. In your neck of the woods there are trilobites found in the quarries of Dudley, near Birmingham. They were called Dudley Bugs by the locals.

Yes. I have also been working with a young preparator whose family is in the fossil business in Alnif, Morocco. He is helping me get together at least one trilobite from each Family, and I am happy to purchase from him and sent him a state of the art microabrasion tool. I've been cataloging the Trilobites since they will be donated to a University. Trilobites are one of my interests.
