Here is a striking spiny trilobite. This is a sleek "Devil-Horned" Cyphaspis from Morocco. This distinct specimen was acquired from a major trilobite collection. It is obvious how this type got its name - it has two long spines protruding from the head (glabella)! This specimen has these spines still intact, and they were prepared in a free-standing manner. Along with the two nose spines, this complete specimen has two long genal spines and an extremely long axial spine - the axial spine has been prepared free-standing and is beautifully displayed. This inflated trilobite is prone, very well articulated, and extremely detailed. The dark trilobite contrasts wonderfully with the light grey sculpted matrix. This is a fine display specimen of this classic spiny trilobite direct from a collection.
