Description: This trilobite has only recently been described, and I have yet to see the pertinent literature reference. Based upon its morphological similarities with Menomonia, Dresbachia, and Densonella, I assume it has been placed in the same family (Menomoniidae). All are highly-sought examples, and few collectors have seen one of this new member of the “club”. Most are found bent in half, making this prone example highly desirable. This one is somewhat eroded, hence the bargain price. See my other offerings for a rare double.
