 Description:
This trilobite is a member of the Order Corynexochida, Family Styginidae
similar to Scabriscutellum furficerum. It is distinguished by lack
of fringing pygidial spines from Thysanopeltis, and from Scutellum
by the thin raised ribbing of the pygidium. It differs from the species
furficerum by the presence of ocular and axial spines, not typically
seen. For now let us just refer to it as Scabriscutellum affinis furficerum.
Note the many fine eye facets present in both eyes. |
