 Description:
A rarely-seen example of a member of the Order Proetida, Family
Aulacopleuridae, this one is known as Aulacopleura beyrichi. While
the genus is typically applied to Silurian trilobites of Europe,
this one has also been placed in the same genus despite the disparity
in appearance. This one has a slight disarticulation to the pygidium
of the larger specimen. For an example of a fully-articulated example
see my other offerings. |
