Geological Time: Middle Devonian

Fossil Site: Boulashghal, Morocco

Price: $135.00
 Description:
Elegant example of a member of the Order Phacopida, Subfamily Asteropyginae
with many fine details present. Notice the many eye facets present
on this example. The Asteropyginae recently have undergone revision.
This one has been known in the past as Metacanthina, an entirely different
trilobite. This one has many fine details present, including pustules
on the genals. This one has somewhat thinner genals than many, and
points to the genals reminiscent of some member of the genus Kayserops.
For the sake of caution I will simply refer to it as Hollardops sp
without a species name. |
