Description: This is the first red Cyhaspis we've seen; it has the same color as the fabulous trilobites of Hamar Laghdad. It appears to be a species very similar to Cyphaspis eximia. Similar mounds to those of Hamar Laghdad are found near Jebel Zireg, but these have not yet been studied. The fossil was sandblasted, is well-preserved, 100% natural, with no restoration, spines from another trilobite, or paint.
