 Description:
This trilobite is a member of the Order Phacopida, Family Acastidae
from the Devonian deposits of Djebel Issoumour, Morocco known
as Psychopyge elegans (see my other offerings for an example
of Psychopyge
termierorum with an extremely elongated rostrum).
ALL spines have been prepared freestanding on the cephalon as
well as those
on the axial and pleural lobes. It is a fine affordable example
of the taxon. Those prepared entirely freestanding take well
over 100 hours to prepare and easily cost TRIPLE what this one
does. |
