Scotoharpes Trilobite (2" on 5.25 x 3.75" Matrix)
This distinctive Scotoharpes trilobite is a striking example of the unusual forms found among harpetid trilobites. From Morocco, this specimen displays the broad, horseshoe shaped cephalic fringe that makes Scotoharpes immediately recognizable.
The trilobite features a dark, strongly segmented body surrounded by an expansive cephalic fringe with long, gracefully curving extensions. The warm brown coloration of the fringe creates a beautiful contrast with the darker central body. Its elevated preparation allows the fossil's unusual shape and three dimensional form to be appreciated from multiple angles.
Measuring approximately 2 inches long, the trilobite is presented on an approximately 5.25 x 3.75 inch natural matrix. The generous light colored matrix provides an attractive backdrop while keeping the unusual morphology of the trilobite as the focal point.
