1.2" Austerops Trilobite - Jorf, Morocco

This is a 1.2" long Austerops trilobite collected near Jorf, Morocco. The tail is tucked but otherwise nice preparation and preservation . The rock from the Jorf area is extremely hard with almost a glass-like texture to it. This makes it very time consuming to prepare compared to other localities. The shell tends to be transluscent so the trilobites take on much of the color of the rock underneath.
