Dating to the Middle Devonian Period approximately 390 million years ago, this specimen comes from the Timrhanrhart Formation of Morocco. Walliserops trilobites are known for their elaborate cephalic ornamentation, prominent genal spines, segmented exoskeleton, and distinctive overall appearance. These unusual adaptations make members of the genus some of the most recognizable and visually impressive trilobites found in Morocco.
This specimen measures approximately 2.5 inches long and is presented on an approximately 4.5 x 3.5 inch matrix. The surrounding stone provides a natural backdrop that highlights the trilobite's dark exoskeleton and intricate features.
