Cheirurus (Crotalocephalus) gibbus from Morocco

Continuing on the theme of Moroccan Trilobites, there is another specimen that I received from my friend Jenaro: Cheirurus (Crotalocephalus) gibbus.






You can see some of the restoration work on the Cephalon but otherwise this is a nice specimen.

From what I can find on Paleodb.org, Cheirurus (Crotalocephalus) gibbus lived in the early Devonian. The label that came with the specimen indicates it comes from Mt. Issoumour near Alnif, Morocco.
