Parvilichas marochii (Corbacho & Vela 2013)

This is a nice specimen of a recently described genus of Early Ordovician trilobite from the Zagora Region of Morocco, Parvilichas marochii. Parvilichas is similar to the monster lichid trilobite Uralichas but differs in that it is much smaller with proportionally larger eyes and longer genal spines. This is a rare trilobite and I’ve only seen a handful of examples on the market, all for substantially higher prices than this one.
