Description:
I have just recently been able to secure a selection of Early
Silurian trilobites from Northeastern Quebec Province, Canada.
This is another in a series which I will be posting. all of which
are quite rare. As far as I am aware, a plate such as this has
never been offered before. While only consisting of fragmentary
remains, fragments of many of these taxa are all that are know.
The fragments are quite diagnostic; for example the hypostome
of Calymene nowlani possesses a post-like process known from
no other species (see my other offerings for a near-complete
example of this rare species).The location is most difficult
to access, and few have ever collected there. It is the ONLY
such example I have to offer, one that affords an opportunity
to add no less than TEN rare taxa to any trilobite collection
at a most affordable price.
