 Description:
This trilobite is a member of the Order Corynexochida, Family Styginidae
known is Platyscutellum. It is distinguished by lack of fringing
pygidial spines from Thysanopeltis, and from Scutellum by the raised
ribbing of the pygidium. It is further differentiated from Scabriscutellum
in that it has a concave rather than convex cephalic rim. Its dark
exoskeleton contrasts well with lighter matrix, and displays well
in this prone pose. Notice the presence of fine eye facets. |
