Very well preserved and elaborately prepared trilobite from the Devonian limestone near Alnif in Morocco. As a rule, all trilobite specimens were glued at least once before preparation, because these fossils can only be found on site as a cross section when the stones are broken open - please note the pictures. Only the time-consuming subsequent preparation leads to the fantastic results.
