 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 genus has been known in the past as Metacanthina, an entirely
different trilobite (see my other offerings).. This one has been prepared
with all of the spines freestanding, giving it the illusion of flight. |
