1.9" Lower Cambrian Trilobite (Longianda) With Antennae - Issafen

In the past few years, deposits near Issafen, Morocco have begun yielding a new assemblage of Early Cambrian trilobites. This is a 1.9" long Longianda termieri (Hupe 1953) trilobite from here that appears to have preserved antennae. I was initially skeptical because I had not previously seen soft bodied preservation for this site. But on magnification it is clear they are antennae with some of the classic segmenting visible.

In the past few years, deposits near Issafen, Morocco have begun yielding a new assemblage of Early Cambrian trilobites. This fauna is very diverse and consists mainly of ellipsocephalids, chengkouiids, gigantopygids, holmiids, neltneriids, saukiandids, and the latest fallotaspids. The shale is a greenish to slightly yellow color when freshly split, but weathers to a light grey.
