Symphysurina, the Mustache Trilobite. At 11.5 inches long and an enormous 13 inches wide, this new species of Asaphus trilobite Symphysurina known as the moustache trilobite because of the large curved spines at the end of its Cephalon (head) is one of the very largest trilobites that ever lived. It was a predatory trilobite that swam in the warm waters of Morocco 475 million years ago. This very dramatic black trilobite is nicely contrasted against its light brown 15 x 16 inch limestone matrix and is complete with its small eyes visible and only minor restoration of the long curved head spines. This is an opportunity to acquire a rare trilobite that is also very impressive looking and lacking from most collections.
