 Description:
Fine example of a member of the Order Proetida, Family Proetidae with
many fine details present. The most diagnostic feature of this taxon
is granulose cephalon for which the genus is named. The Proetidae
were among the last of the trilobites to go extinct in the Permian
over 100 million years later. This is a fine small example of the
type, offered here at an eminently affordable price. |
