 Description:
Fine example of a member of the Order Proetida with many fine details
present. The most diagnostic features of this taxon are granulose
cephalon and thorax and the swept-back genal spines.. The Proetidae
were among the last of the trilobites to go extinct in the Permian
over 100 million years later. This is a fine example of the type,
offered here at an eminently affordable price. See my other offerings
for an example of the morphologically similar genus Dimuproetus. |
