 Description:
This trilobite comes from a relatively new location known as Jorf.
It has become the source for many new and colorful trilobites over
the past few years, and this one is no exception. It is most like
Thysaniopeltella kebbelecensis, but although the number of pygidial
spines are similar, the number of pygidial ribs are essentially double.
It is most likely a ne wspecies, as are many of the trilobites from
Jorf. Much work needs to be done to catch up with all the new material
that has been found there over the past few years. |
