 Description:
Fine example of a member of the Order Corynexochida, Family Styginidae
known as Paralejurus rehamnanus. It was originally known as P.
dormitzieri rehamnanus, but discovery of two complete specimens
showed it to be a similar but distinct species. This one is quite
large, as WIDE as most are LONG, The streamlined shape of this
trilobite is thought to have aided it in burrowing through the
seafloor in search of a meal. |
