    What kind of trilobite is this? I see them for sale allot in museum gift stores. (that’s actually where I bought this one) Could someone help me identify?

    I think you need to post a picture with a little more detail, especially of the head region in order to attempt an ID.  Did the specimen come with a note telling where it was from by any chance?

    No there was no ID or info. I bought it in Georga. At the Fernbank Museum. In the gift shop. I’ll try to post that picture ASAP, but I’m at school. Also, I forgot to mention, The Bugger is broken in 2 spots… But I assume that most $5 trilobites are.

    Also, there seems to be a broken “spike” (I don’t know what to call it) on either side. It appears to me that they broke off in excavation.

    It’s a calymenid from Morocco. Likely Flexicalymene ouzregui.

    WOW! That was good! That was quite the detective work! Looked up what you said and it was incredibly similar!
