Description

Trilobite Fossil
Bojoscutellum sp.
Lower Devonian
Timrhanhart Formation
Zguid, Morocco

Even after more than three decades of producing remarkable new discoveries, Morocco's fossil beds continue to yield extraordinary specimens. This rare example of Bojoscutellum, from the Timrhanhart Formation near Zguid, represents one of the most unusual and sought-after Trilobite species from North Africa. The specimen has been expertly prepared, fully exposing its distinctive array of spines and horns, features that make this genus immediately recognizable and scientifically significant. Trilobites of this quality and completeness are seldom encountered, particularly with such detail preserved across the exoskeleton. A fine and well-prepared example from one of the world's most prolific fossil-producing regions, demonstrating both aesthetic appeal and paleontological importance.
Trilobite Overall Measurements: 3.50 x 3.00 x 2.75 inches (8.89 x 7.62 x 6.98 cm)

Provenance: Property of a Distinguished Southern California Collector
