1.1" Unidentified Lichid Trilobite From Jorf - Belenopyge Like

This is a rare, and as far as I know, currently undescribed Lichid trilobite from Jorf, Morocco. This new species appears to have some affinities to either Belenopyge or Acanthopyge. Only a handful of these specimens have come onto the market over the past couple of years, and this is a beauty. It's 1.1" long and the preparation work is fantastic. There is a second specimen partially exposed underneath the first as well as some other parts on the rock.

I collected this locality when I was in Morocco two years ago. The rock at this site is partially metamorphised, massive and has no discernible layers. It's almost amazing that there are well preserved trilobites in the rock given the geological changes that it has gone through.
