 Description:
This plate displays a fine example of a trilobite known as Hamatolenus
(Myopsolenus) magnus, a member of the Order Ptychopariida, Family
Ellipsocephalidae. The free cheeks are tightly attached, an uncommon
occurrence, and the genal and pleural spines are complete. The
species name refers to its large size, evident here. The subgenus
Myopsolenus is somewhat broader in aspect than others of the
genus. This large example dominates its matrix block, making
for a fine display piece. |
