"Ram's" Horn Spiny Trilobite With Free-Standing Horns and Genal Spines. One of the most unusual and highly coveted of Moroccan trilobites is Dicranurus elegans, which is distinctive in having two long curved spines on its head resembling ram's horns. Found near Alnif, Morocco in the Sahara desert, Dicranurus is over 400 million years old. This 3" x 1 1/2" black trilobite has been painstakingly prepared and looks almost alive with the two horns and some of the long spines on its body and tail freestanding away from the matrix. Two of the body spines are only partials, but the overall appearance on its smooth 4" x 3" tan matrix is spectacular. Add $25 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $600 - 950.
