 Description:
Elegant example of a member of the Order Phacopida, Subfamily
Asteropyginae with many fine details present. Notice the many
eye facets present on this example. The Asteropyginae recently
have undergone revision. This one has been known in the past
as Metacanthina, an entirely different trilobite (see my other
offerings). This one differs from the more common Hollardops
mesocristata in that the pygidial spines are somewhat more pointed. |
