"Ram's" Horn Spiny Trilobite From Morocco. One of the most desired of Moroccan trilobites is Dicranurus elegans which is distinctive in having two long curved spines on its head resembling a ram's horn. Four hundred million years ago there were many odd-looking trilobites swimming in the warm seas of Morocco, which now is part of the Sahara desert. This 2½ inch black trilobite has been prepared in its natural state as found crawling over the hard dark gray stone matrix. The all important "ram's" horns have been intricately released from the stone matrix and are free-standing and complete except for the very end of the tip of one of the horns. Weight is 1 pound, 10 ounces.
Estimated Value $350 - 550.
