Chlustinia keyserlingi Rare Spectacularly Spined Lichid Trilobite

Chlustinia keyserlingi Trilobites Order Lichida, Family Odontopleuridae Geological Time: Ordovician Size (25.4 mm = 1 inch): 60 mm long by 44 mm wide on a 110 mm by 95 mm matrix Fossil Site: Mount Issimour, Alnif , Morocco Fossil Code: 05038 Price: $1095.00 Description: Here is one of the more rare trilobites of the Order Lichida, Family Odontopleuridae known as Chlustinia keyserlingi. This particular example is quite large at 60 mm in length from the dramatic cephalon to the wonderful pygidial spines, and has a "wingspan" of 44 mm at the genal spines. Notice that the librigenae are tightly attached, a sign of a well-articulated specimen. It is quite prone, and dominates its bed of matrix. Few are ever offered; I have seen 3 personally inn the last 5 years, none as well-preserved as this example, which is exceptionally 3-D for an Ordovician trilobite.
