Otarion diffractumDescription: This species is somewhat rare and I have only received a few of them. This is my last one to offer. It is from the Aulacopleuridae family, and closely resembles Aulacopleura koninckii and comes from the same formation. Note the excellent preservation including the eyes and long genal spines. To the upper left is a partial of what appears to be an Odontopleura.
