Harpes
Harpid trilobite
Harpes and its relatives (Scotoharpes, Lioharpes) are Devonian harpid trilobites with a huge horseshoe-shaped, pitted brim around the head, prepared from the Moroccan limestones. The brim is thin and frequently restored where it broke during preparation. A complete Harpes with an undamaged brim is worth paying extra for.
