Paradoxides pinus? Trilobite Fossil

Louisville Area Fossils [2013-10-13 12:30:00]   recommend this post  (661 visits)

The label for this fossil says it is a Paradoxides pinus trilobite from the Paleozoic Era. I would guess it is some sort of Paradoxides trilobite from the Cambrian Period found in Morocco. If I recall this fossil is pretty large, maybe the size of [...]
