Ampyx cf. priscus, is a Lower Ordovician trilobite from Ait Zolli, Draa Valley, Morocco. Ampyx is noted for its three prominent spines on the head shield - one from each free cheek and one extending from the glabella.

The plate contains TWO Ampyx, The bodies of the Ampyx (excluding the spine measurements) are both approximately 0.99 inches long. The entire plate measures 6.2 by 4.77 by 1.44 to 0.77 inches inches.

The left cheek of the 'leading' trilobite may have been restored and the tip of the cephalic spine has been repaired. In the trilobite- collecting world this is not a detriment. Trilobites are found by smashing open rocks- and the specimen often gets broken as a result. It is rare to find an entire, unbroken trilobite. And if one is found, they usually are sold for a premium amount. Many sellers do not disclose that their fossils have been repaired as the repair is often very well done, and virtually undetectable. I believe in full disclosure.All of my fossils are guaranteed authentic and have been legally obtained.
