This is a very cool Cambrian trilobite association. It is a fabulous Protolenus densigranulatus and Agraulos sp. from the Cambropallas Beds of Morocco. The Protolenus is complete, which is quite unusual. It has both free cheeks present, with both long genal spines intact, which is extremely rare. The trilobite also has very short pleural spines, giving the bug its unusual, worm-like look. The Agraulos is also nicely detailed, natural orange coloration that contrasts beautifully with the light-colored matrix.
