Leonaspis (or Kettneraspis) sp
Trilobites Order Lichida, Family Odontopleuridae
Geological Time: Middle Devonian
Size (25.4 mm = 1 inch): Trilobite is 35 mm long by 30 mm wide (with spines) on a 70 mm by 70 mm matrix
Fossil Site: Cornuproetus Couche, Jebel Ofaten, Morocco
Fossil Code: 17193
Price: Sold
 Description:
Fine example of the genus, this is a member of the genus Leonaspis.
While some prefer Kettnersapis over Leonaspis based upon the pygidial
spines, it is definitely a desirable member of the taxon. This one
possesses a distinctive set of mid-pleural nodes on the thoracic segments,
something I have only seen before in a very few examples of Kettneraspis
prepared by Bob Carroll, Clarita, Oklahoma. |
