Specimen - 0,4 x 0,1 cm. Tazemmourt Section, Northern slope of the Western Anti-Atlas, Morocco. Superfamily: Ellipsocephaloidea; Order: Ptychopariida; Class: Trilobita.

Lithostratigraphy : Tiout Member of the Igoudine Formation (Lower Cambrian, Series 2, Stage 3). Biostratigraphy : Eofallotaspis Zone of the Issendalenian. Age : Cambrian, Early Paleozoic Era. Collection : #CALPAIS 9274; Collected April 2021. Bigotinids belong to the earliest and least understood trilobite families. Their early occurrence "out of the nowhere" in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas and in Siberia! Is one of the biggest trilobite puzzles. We discovered a short glabella Bigotinidae spp. With an almost perfectly elliptical body shape The maximum length for adults is less than 10 mm. Seven specimens in six different plates (right-side group of the red line; note - image not updated with recently collected specimens) are shown above. For detailed information consult the Mediterranic Store website - mediterranic followed for the commercial extension - > The Cambrian Souss-Lagerstätte > Trilobites > Family Bigotinidae. Consult this and learn more about the Souss-Lagerstätte specimens at our website (mediterranic followed for the commercial extension). A top-grade plate of a rare species. Complete internal mould, a dorsal exoskeleton, and respective external mold.

The pygidium is very probably hidden in the matrix. Glabella and interocular areas, similar to a quarter-segment of a circle clearly visible in this specimen, especially nitid in the external mold. A more than rare fossil record. In general, the specimen is very well preserved, showing almost all the key structures of the group.

Good size for a complete specimen of this age and of this species. Cephalon is typical of an adult individual. With short but very conspicuous palpebral lobes, their posterior tips almost reaching to posterior border furrow. Interocular areas are similar to a quarter segment of a circle. Complete thorax on all three lobes.

Very conspicuous pleurae with non-evident pleural spines. Evident axial furrows, extremely well preserved. A very well-preserved specimen on its whole.

Also, due to its rarity, this is one truly excellent collector item. Consult this and learn more about the Souss-Lagerstätte specimens at our website.
