 Description:
Elegant example of a member of the Order Phacopida, Subfamily
Asteropyginae with many fine details present. Notice the fine
eye facets present on this example. The Asteropyginae recently
have undergone revision. This genus has been known in the past
as Metacanthina, an entirely different trilobite (see my other
offerings). This one looks as though dressed in desert camouflage.
Differential absorption of minerals led to this impressive example,
seen here in a reflexed pose. |
