🦠 Fossil Overview:

This is a RARE and exceptionally well-preserved 4.5" Zlichovaspis (Odontochile) Trilobite Fossil, dating back to the Lower Devonian Period (Pragian Stage) (~410 million years ago). It was discovered in the Lhandar Formation, Atchana, Morocco, a site well known for its exceptional trilobite discoveries.

Zlichovaspis, sometimes classified under Odontochile, is a genus of trilobite recognized for its elongated body, well-defined cephalon (head), and broad pygidium (tail section).
