2005.10.12-Kid Prepping Trilobite-Alnif, Morocco

Past Erfoud and further down the road you'll eventually come to Alnif. Alnif is know for great trilobite discoveries over the years, but the main town is very small and shop owners always stick to the nomadic mentality of making as much money as possible with one sale and not ever worry about you coming back.

If you continue through town, after making sure to get some cold water, you'll start to notice small outcrops of buildings about 10 km south of town, with the Atlas Mountain range on one side and the Sahara Desert to the other. Each is their own shop seperated by 1 km or 2 and they all prepare their own fossils. All the work found here is the old way to clean trilobites and this kid shows us exactly how that is. A hammer and nail.

He is cleaning one of the most common/well known Moroccan trilobites, a Phacops rana.
