Phacops megalomanicus Trilobite Devonian
Morocco

Trilobites are a readily recognized group of extinct marine arthropods.

Trilobites had a wide range of lifestyles, such as planktonic, bottom dwelling, and burrowing, and most of them are only 2-3 inches long and often less.

This big brute was a bottom feeder with large and well developed eyes. The swollen area at the front was an enlargement for the stomach, not the brain.
