 Description:
This is a fine example of a trilobite from the Lower Devonian Laatchana
deposits near Alnif, Morocco. The taxon is a member of the Order Lichida,
Family Lichidae, and is infrequently available.. It is well positioned
on its limestone matrix base, with the genal and pleural spines well-displayed
against the light-colored matrix. It has a recently assigned “cousin”
in the Devonian deposits of Oklahoma, Acanthopyge consanguinea (Bug
X) which can be seen in my offerings from the incomparable preparatory
Bob Carroll. |
