 Description:
Colorful example of a member of the Order Phacopida, Family Phacopidae
with many fine details present. The most diagnostic features of this
taxon are the fine schizochroal eyes and elongated cephahlon, well-displayed
here. This specimen has been expertly prepared by microabrasive techniques
to result in this fine example of the type which is very 3-D in aspect,
perched atop this sculpted matrix base. The rich color reminds me
of trilobites recently found at Hmar Laghdad, albeit browner than
red. |
